Kaya Days by Carl de Souza
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.1 MB
Overview: "This isn't a night for theater. All the drama will be outside."
In 1999, the Mauritian musician Joseph Réginald Topize, better known as Kaya, was arrested for smoking weed while performing at a concert. Following his death in police custody just days later, the island nation surged with violence in a long-overdue demand for justice from the formerly-colonized peoples of the East African island nation.
In Kaya Days, the spirit of the island and its many people—Creole, Indian, French, British—is distilled into a young woman's daylong search through the uproar for her younger brother, who has gone missing. Amid burning cars and buildings, opportunists and revolutionaries, Santee rises into another world—a furious, brilliant one. An exhilarating journey from a small Hindu village to the big city, and from innocence into womanhood, Carl de Souza's surreal English-language debut, artfully translated from French by Jeffrey Zuckerman, is an explosion of politics and poetry, a humid dream-world of revolutionary fervor where seemingly anything—everything—is possible, if only in this night.
