I am doing Hearthside next semester with the book Sleepwalking Land by Mozambican writer Mia Couto, one of the most respected contemporary African writers. There is ONE spot left for a student, and for participating you receive a complimentary copy of the book. Well meet several times throughout the semester to discuss the book in an informal setting. See below for info about the novel, and see the link for info about Hearthside. If youre interested send an email to [email protected] As the civil war rages in 1980s Mozambique, an old man and a young boy, refugees from the war, seek shelter in a burnt-out bus. Among the effects of a dead passenger, they come across a set of notebooks that tell of his life. As the boy reads the story to his elderly companion, this story and their own develop in tandem. Written in 1992, Mia Couto’s first novel is a powerful indictment of the suffering war brings.
