A Los Angeles Times Book Review Favorite Book of the Year
Johnny Mad Dog, age sixteen, is a member of a rebel faction bent on seizing control of war-torn Congo. Laokol , at the same age, simply wants to finish high school. Together, they narrate a crossing of paths that has explosive results. Set amid the chaos of West Africa's civil wars, and acclaimed by such writers as Philip Roth and Chinua Achebe, Emmanuel Dongala's powerful, exuberant, and terrifying new work is a coming-of-age story like no other.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Picador USAISBN-13:9780312425302ISBN-10:312425309UPC:9780312425302Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Literary, World Literature, Coming of AgeBook Topic:AfricaSize:8.40 x 5.50 x 0.90 inchesWeight:0.95Product ID:SCNXDH9ET8
