✰ 2022布克獎決選入圍! ✰ 紐時、衛報等英美媒體好評! 非裔作家布拉瓦約新作靈感緣自辛巴威萬年獨裁者穆加比的貪腐統治,隱約帶有《動物農莊》色彩。 小說由一群動物講述極權者何其冷酷無情,而妄想推翻者又何等天真爛漫。 From the award-winning author of the Booker-prize finalist We Need New Names, a blockbuster of a novel that chronicles the fall of an oppressive regime, and the chaotic, kinetic potential for real liberation that rises in its wake. Glory centers around the unexpected fall of Old Horse, a long-serving leader of a fictional country, and the drama that follows for a rumbustious nation of animals on the path to true liberation. Inspired by the unexpected fall by coup, in November 2017, of Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s president of nearly four decades, Bulawayo’s bold, vividly imagined novel shows a country imploding, narrated by a chorus of animal voices who unveil the ruthlessness and cold strategy required to uphold the illusion of absolute power, and the imagination and bullet-proof optimism to overthrow it completely.
