Encuentro de Clubs de Lectura. Casa África lee "A qué esperan los monos", de Yasmina Khadra
Casa África holds a new meeting of its Reading Club by reading A qué esperan los monos", by the Algerian writer Yasmina Khadra. The meeting this time takes the format of a social gathering, the second of the year, as two other book clubs from the island who are also reading African authors will join them, specifically two works from Casa África's Literature Collection.
The social gathering will take place on Wednesday 22nd April at 7 p.m at Casa África's Nelson Mandela Auditorium. The Reading Club of the Municipal Library of Arucas, who has read the book Mañana cumpliré 20 años, by Alain Mabanckou and the Reading Club of the Library of Valleseco, who has read Las que aguardan, by Fatou Diome will join the gathering.
The writer Antonio Lozano will moderate this literary meeting to discuss these three authors and share cross reading experiences among the members of the three clubs.
A qué esperan los monos (2014, Alianza Editorial) is a detective novel of political intrigue, with a dizzying plot. A thriller that transcends genre boundaries. Hand in hand with a series of characters who are beaten by fate Khadra immerses us in a suffocating atmosphere of social climbers and abuse of power in all its forms, of corruption and complicity at all levels; that of an Algerian society that dreamt of a better world through independence, but from which an emerging elite, without faith and lawless, stole their smile. A descent into hell, not to burn themselves but to regain the lost light of hope.
Yasmina Khadra is the feminine pseudonym of the Algerian French writer Mohammed Moulessehoul. Born in 1955 in Kednasa, in the Algerian Sahara, the son of a nomadic woman and a male nurse, an official of the National Liberation Army, and whose work has never been detached from controversy.
