Description
Waiting for an AngelHelon Habila's vivid, exciting, and heart wrenching debut opens a window onto a world in some ways familiar with its sensuously depicted streets, student life, and vibrant local characters yet ruled by one of the world's most corrupt and oppressive regimes, a scandal that ultimately drives Lomba to take a risk in the name of something greater than himself. Habila captures the energy, sensitivity, despair, and stubborn hope of a new African generation
Helon Habila's vivid, exciting, and heart-wrenching debut opens a window onto a world in some ways familiar-with its sensuously depicted streets, student life, and vibrant local characters-yet ruled by one of the world's most corrupt and oppressive regimes, a scandal that ultimately drives Lomba to take a risk in the name of something greater than himself. Habila captures the energy, sensitivity, despair, and stubborn hope of a new African generation with a combination of gritty realism and poetic beauty. Winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing 2001. Reading group guide included.

Thought provoking, beautiful poetry on life.
Format: Paperback
This book is small, but powerful. The writing is poetic indeed, which can make it hard to read (I had to reread sentences constantly to understand). But it is WELL worth the effort.
Beautiful writing. Beautiful concepts.
