Os Transparentes by Ondjaki

4.0

This book is poetry written in prose (I read it in Portuguese). It is a story about the lives of a group of people that live in a six store building, that never was completly build. So there is a 'vertical corridor' but no elavator. Everything seems in this Luanda to work only through schemes. It seems to be a picture of Luanda at the begining of the 21st century, dense narrated with a very dark humour.
