| Description: | Select Guide Rating New and selected fiction, over half in English for the first time, from the winner of the 2014 Neustadt Prize. An NPR Best Book of 2021 New and selected fiction, over half in English for the first time, from the winner of the 2014 Neustadt Prize. Known internationally for his novels, Neustadt Prize-winner Mia Couto first became famous for his short stories. Sea Loves Me includes sixty-four of his best, thirty-six of which appear in English for the first time. Covering the entire arc of Couto''s career, this collection displays the Mozambican author''s inventiveness, sensitivity, and social range with greater richness than any previous collection—from early stories that reflect the harshness of life under Portuguese colonialism; to magical tales of rural Africa; to contemporary fables of the fluidity of race and gender, environmental disaster, and the clash between the countryside and the city. The title novella, long acclaimed as one of Couto''s best works but never before available in English, caps this collection with the lyrical story of a search for a lost father that leads unexpectedly to love. |
