Description - The Suns of Independence by Ahmadou Kourouma
"The anger of the exiled writer spills over into the novel.... As the author concludes, colonized or independent, Africans will keep on suffering 'until such times as God unpeels the curse stuck fast on their backsides.'"—World Literature Today "Kourouma manages to create an atmosphere of intimacy.... He does not hesitate to let the images, the rhythms, the words of his mother-tongue pierce the polished surface of polite prose."—New African "This fine translation ... eloquently captures the bitter frustration and anguished oppression of the African people in the post-independence era."—Africa Today A masterpiece of modern African literature, The Suns of Independence brilliantly captures the struggles, desires, and dreams of people in a west African country as they live through the tumultuous days of postcolonial independence.
