Congolese author Alain Mabanckou shares his moving, exuberant novel, Dealing with the Dead.
Dealing with the Dead is a ghostly reckoning with Congolese history from one of Africa’s greatest living writers. The story centers on a man named Liwa who wakes up in his own grave. Bewildered by his predicament and unwilling to relinquish his tender bond with his devoted grandmother, Liwa makes his way back home to see her one last time, against all spectral advice. As he does, disturbing rumors swirl together with Liwa’s jumbled memories of his last night on earth, leading him to try and solve the mystery of his own untimely demise.
This is an “all-ages” event.
