tomorrow i ll be twenty alain mabanckou

Finalist for the Man Booker International Prize 2015Michel is ten years old, living in Pointe Noire, Congo, in the 1970s. His mother sells peanuts at the market, his father works at the Victory Palace Hotel, and brings home books left behind by the white guests. Planes cross the sky overhead, and Michel and his friend Lounès dream about the countries where they''ll land. While news comes over the radio of the American hostage crisis in Tehran, the death of the Shah, the scandal of the Boukassa diamonds, Michel struggles with the demands of his twelve year old girlfriend Caroline, who threatens to leave him for a bully in the football team. But most worrying for Michel, the witch doctor has told his mother that he has hidden the key to her womb, and must return it before she can have another child. Somehow he must find it. Tomorrow I''ll Be Twenty is a humorous and poignant account of an African childhood, drawn from Alain Mabanckou''s life.

A hopeful, music-infused poetry collection from Congolese poet Alain Mabanckou. These compelling poems by novelist and essayist Alain Mabanckou conjure nostalgia for an African childhood where the fauna, flora, sounds, and smells evoke snapshots of a life forever gone. Mabanckou’s poetry is frank and forthright, urging his compatriots to no longer be held hostage by the civil wars and political upheavals that have ravaged their country and to embrace a new era of self-determination where the village roosters can sing again.  These music-infused texts, beautifully translated by Nancy Naomi Carlson and supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, appear together in English for the first time. In these pages, Mabanckou pays tribute to his beloved mother, as well as to the regenerative power of nature, especially of trees, whose roots are a metaphor for the poet’s roots, anchored in the red earth of his birthplace. Mabanckou’s yearning for the land of his ancestors is even more poignant because he has been declared persona non grata in his homeland, now called Congo-Brazzaville, due to his biting criticism of the country’s regime. Despite these barriers, his poetry exudes hope that nature’s resilience will lead humankind on the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Majitel nonstop baru Úvěr odcestoval kdesi v černé Africe požádá jednoho svého štamgasta, alkoholika u konce sil, Prasklýho Skleničku, bývalého učitele, milovníka francouzštiny a knih, kterého ze školy vyhodili pro nezvladatelný alkoholizmus, aby sepsal cosi jako kroniku jeho podniku. Prasklej sklenička dnes tráví všechen čas v baru, pije a pozoruje ostatní hosty, je tedy pro tento úkol nutně tím nejpovolanějším. Hned od prvních řádků se s ním ponoříme do krutých a pitoreskních osudů jeho spolustolovníků. Převážně jsou to politováníhodné trosky, zmožené životem a alkoholem. Setkáme se například s mužem oblečeným v papírových plenách, pronásledovaným mouchami, kterého nechala uvěznit vlastní manželka, aby se ho zbavila. Ve vězení se stal obětí mnohonásobných znásilnění. Dalšího muže nechala, jakožto psychiatrický případ, repatriovat z Francie, kde si vydobyl solidní společenské postavení, také manželka, bílá Francouzska, zpět do Konga, protože chtěla žít s jeho synem z předchozího vztahu. Za epizodami zároveň k smíchu i k pláči čtenář objevuje spisovatelovu rodnou krajinu se vší krásou a krutostí, s nádhernou přírodou i s diktátory, se špinavými a temnými zákoutími, ale především s nesmírným bohatstvím tradic a kultury černé Afriky. Během čtení nás Alain Mabanckou zasypává aluzemi a intertextovými odkazy na literární díla, povětšinou právě vzešlých z pera afrických ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In Pointe-Noire, in the small neighbourhood of Voungou, on the family plot where young Michel lives with Maman Pauline and Papa Roger, life goes on. But Michel''s everyday cares - lost grocery money, the whims of his parents'' moods, their neighbours'' squabbling, his endless daydreaming - are soon swept away by the wind of history. In March 1977, just before the arrival of the short rainy season, Comrade President Marien Ngouabi is brutally murdered in Brazzaville, and not even naïve Michel can remain untouched. Starting as a tender, wry portrait of an ordinary Congolese family, Alain Mabanckou quickly expands the scope of his story into a powerful examination of colonialism, decolonization and dead ends of the African continent. At a stroke Michel learns the realities of life - and how much must change for everything to stay the same.

**Winner of the Guardian First Book award**''I know few books, fiction or non-fiction, as compelling as Philip Gourevitch''s account of the Rwandan genocide'' – Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm‘Should be compulsory reading’ – The GuardianIn 1994, the Rwandan government orchestrated a campaign of extermination, in which everyone in the Hutu majority was called upon to murder everyone in the Tutsi minority. Close to a million people were slaughtered in a hundred days, and the rest of the world did nothing to stop it. A year later, journalist Philip Gourevitch went to Rwanda to investigate the most unambiguous genocide since Hitler’s war against the Jews.Hailed by the Guardian as one of the hundred greatest non-fiction books of all time, and now celebrated as part of the Picador Collection, We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families is an unforgettable anatomy of Rwanda’s decimation.

Women are in a bind. In the name of consent and empowerment, they must proclaim their desires clearly and confidently. Yet sex researchers suggest that women’s desire is often slow to emerge. And men are keen to insist that they know what women—and their bodies—want. Meanwhile, sexual violence abounds. How can women, in this environment, possibly know what they want? And why do we expect them to?In this elegant, searching book—spanning science and popular culture; pornography and literature; debates on Me-Too, consent and feminism—Katherine Angel challenges our assumptions about women’s desire. Why, she asks, should they be expected to know their desires? And how do we take sexual violence seriously, when not knowing what we want is key to both eroticism and personhood?In today’s crucial moment of renewed attention to violence and power, Angel urges that we remake our thinking about sex, pleasure, and autonomy without any illusions about perfect self-knowledge. Only then will we fulfil Michel Foucault’s teasing promise, in 1976, that ‘tomorrow sex will be good again’

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a good white person of liberal leanings must be in want of a Black friend.In the biting, hilarious vein of What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life comes Ben Philippe’s candid memoir-in-essays, chronicling a lifetime of being the Black friend (see also: foreign kid, boyfriend, coworker, student, teacher, roommate, enemy) in predominantly white spaces. In an era in which “I have many black friends” is often a medal of Wokeness, Ben hilariously chronicles the experience of being on the receiving end of those fist bumps. He takes us through his immigrant childhood, from wanting nothing more than friends to sit with at lunch, to his awkward teenage years, to college in the age of Obama, and adulthood in the Trump administration—two sides of the same American coin.Ben takes his role as your new black friend seriously, providing original and borrowed wisdom on stereotypes, slurs, the whole “swimming thing,” how much Beyoncé is too much Beyoncé, Black Girl Magic, the rise of the Karens, affirmative action, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other conversations you might want to have with your new BBFF.Oscillating between the impulse ...

HOW CAN WE KNOW WE’LL GO TO HEAVEN? A recent poll indicated that for every American who believes he or she is going to hell, there are 120 who believe they’re going to heaven. This optimism stands in stark contrast to Jesus Christ’s words written in the Bible: “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few” (Matthew 7:13–14). The truth is that according to the Bible we don’t automatically go to heaven. In fact, hell―not heaven―is our default destination. Unless our sin problem is solved once and for all, we can’t enter heaven. That’s the bad news. But once that’s straight in our minds we’re ready to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus took upon himself, on the cross, the hell we deserve so that we could experience for eternity the heaven we don’t deserve! THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS There are two possible destinations when we die: heaven or hell. Can we really know in advance where we’ll ... Unknown localization key: "more"
