Critiques

A superb collection of absurdist short stories, each packed with ironic humor and keen insight. I enjoyed every single story, but two stood out for me: "The Revolutionary and Counter-revolutionary Duck," in which an Angolan guerrilla expertly trolls a North Korean professor; and "Angola Is Wherever I Plant My Field," which shows people not only able to survive but thrive in desperate circumstances.

Received via NetGalley.

This short story collection evokes laughter, inspiration, and reflection, and cause pause and ponder as one considers conjuring the sheer amount of drive needed to emphatically say Angola is Wherever I Plant My Field.

If you are looking for a short story collection that is also translated, please check this out.

Many thanks to Iskanchi Press, João Melo, and NetGalley for an Advanced Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
