Tram 83 by Fiston Mwanza Mujila

4.0

In terms of quality of prose, this is perhaps best African book I have read. The atmosphere just explodes on paper from page 1 and sticks through out in form of noises made by prostitutes - whose presence dominate the background of the scenes of this book even more than it does for Game of Thrones. They are just one of many exploited sections of the society - forced-to-mature-early children, students, miners etc ; who, themselves, have learned to cheat others to survive. The exploiters - outlaws, for-profit travelers and like frequent this same night club too for it is the only one in city which is a mint that attract anyone looking for quick bucks.
