Literature in Portuguese – venenos de deus, remédios do diabo by Mia Couto

This is the second book by the Mozambican writer Mia Couto to be selected for our Newsletter. “Mia Couto tells stories in an engaging way and this is another very interesting book with an unexpected ending.” – Monica Machado

“In African narrative tradition, the truth is just as important as its many variations. This book is a beautiful illustration of how people weave illusions around themselves so that they do not have to die.” http://www.mertin-litag.de/authors_htm/Couto-M.htm
