Verre cassé by Alain Mabanckou
funny
reflective
4.25
Read in French.
It’s a bit challenging at first, the writing style is peculiar (on purpose) and it’s hard to get into it. However, once you are, you can’t put it down. It’s incredibly clever without seeming so, the narrator and main character keeps dropping titles of books without noticing. The references are clever, and I know I missed some, because it wasn’t until he talked about Mama Mfoa that I caught on.
I will definitely read this author again.
