Böcker av Lara Pawson

'Lara Pawson's writing is brilliant, unnerving and shockingly alive.' - TLS / 'Wild, bold writing in league with perfectly clear thinking, and while disturbing it is also, in a satisfyingly dark way, comic. Shelve it with Lucy Ellmann, Miriam Toews, Jenny Offill; brilliant, disillusioned women in absolute control of glorious prose.' - Guardian

A memoir in the form of a series of sharply etched vignettes that shift astonishingly in time and mood, and range in place from Africa and the US to the streets of London. It demonstrates that no moment is isolated, and that privilege, conflict, race and gender are inherent in all our encounters, from the banal to the extreme

As well as shedding light on the events of 1977, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of modern Angola - its people and its politics; past, present and future.
