Broken Glass
by Alain Mabanckou
I wrote a bit more about Broken Glass here.
This was fantastic. Incredibly funny stuff, from the president's men trying to come up with a new slogan, to the Rabelaisian pissing contest between Robinette and Casimir High-Life. Then the second half takes a swerve, and just when you think it can't recover from the self-pity, you realize there's a reason for it, to display a bit of altruism and dive into explore the joys of reading. Really worth your time, and one of the few guys since Céline to make that run-on style work.
