«Tierra sonámbula» is the novel by Mia Couto, published by Punto de Lectura S.L. in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
In 1980s Mozambique, in the midst of civil war, an old man and a young man take refuge in a burnt-out bus. There they find the notebooks of a dead passenger; as the young man reads them aloud, the reading merges with their flight. Mia Couto blends reality and dreaminess to speak of memory, identity, and the human cost of war.
Mia Couto's first novel, written in 1992; the Spanish edition was published by Punto de Lectura in 2002.
For readers interested in contemporary African literature and a poetic view of war and memory.
António Emílio Leite Couto, better known as Mia Couto, is a Mozambican writer. He won the Camões Prize in 2013, the most important literary award in the Portuguese language, and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2014.
