«El llibre del no» is the novel by Tsitsi Dangarembga, published by L'Agulla Daurada in paperback (365 pages, in Catalan).
Tambudzai, still recovering from the effects of war on her family, enters a predominantly white school where discriminatory practices hold back her ambition to be the best student. Once graduated, she discovers in her first job as an advertising copywriter that the political and historical forces threatening her community are also outside the school.
It is the second instalment of Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions saga; the translation is by Aurora Ballester and includes a prologue by Jordi Nopca. The original title is The Book of Not.
For readers aged 14 and over interested in African fiction and postcolonialism.
Tsitsi Dangarembga is a Zimbabwean novelist, playwright and filmmaker.

She has won other literary honours, including the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the PEN Pinter Prize. In 2020, her novel This Mournable Body was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2022, Dangarembga was convicted in a Zimbabwe court of inciting public violence, by displaying, on a public road, a placard asking for reform; her conviction was later overturned.
