Kaya Days

Beschreibung

A hazy, riotous novel from the Mauritian French-language author Carl de Souza, KAYA DAYS reimagines the 1999 island race riots (which came after the death of a popular seggae singer while in police custody) as an explosive journey to the end of the night, one animated by huge personalities, revolutionary violence, and the beautiful possibility of another world.
