عن المنتج

"Magical, witty and stunning, Joمo Melos stories bring to mind the work of Borges and Ishiguro and some ineffable otherness that is his alone. Discovering his work could be the highlight of a literary career".

Elizabeth McKenzie

Catamaran Literary Reader

and Chicago Quarterly Reviews editor

"Melos stories make the banal and everyday dramas of the folk of Luanda extraordinary, and the extraordinary occurrences mundane. Suffused with irony and wit, the messages of these stories contain serious, sometimes tragic underlying truths with which we can all identify. What the Brazilian Machado de Assis did for Rio de Janeiro in the late nineteenth century, Joمo Melo does for his native Luanda in the early twenty-first".

David Brookshaw

Emeritus Professor in Luso-Brazilian Studies

University of Bristol

"Western readers who still assume that African societies havent reached modernity would be advised to follow Angolan writer Joمo Melo as he forges his distinctive African postmodernism. These droll, cosmopolitan, self-aware stories, whose narrators are never innocent of the ills of the society they inhabit, shuffle local and universal cultural references in the certain confidence that they are interchangeable".

Stephen Henighan

University of Guelph, Ontario

Author of The World of After

Joمo Melo, born in 1955 in Luanda, Angola, is an author, journalist, and communication consultant.

A number of his writings had also been translated into French, German, Arabic, and Chinese.
