"A missanga, todos a veem. Ninguém nota o fio que, em colar vistoso, vai compondo as missangas. Também assim é a voz do poeta: um fio de silêncio costurando o tempo. " "A vida é um colar. Eu dou o fio, as mulheres dão as missangas. São sempre tantas as missangas. " É assim que o donjuanesco personagem do conto "O fio e as missangas" define a sua existência. Fazendo jus a essa delicada metáfora, cada uma das 29 histórias aqui agrupadas alia sua carga poética singular à forma abrangente do livro como um todo - vale dizer, ao colar em questão. Com um texto de intensidade ficcional e condensação formal raras na literatura contemporânea, Mia Couto demora-se em lirismos que a sua maestria de ourives da língua consegue extrair de uma escrita simples, calcada em grande parte na fala do homem da sua terra, Moçambique, um pouco à maneira de Guimarães Rosa, ídolo confesso do autor. "Agora, estou sentada olhando a saia rodada, a saia amarfanhosa, almarrotada. E parece que me sento sobre a minha própria vida", diz a narradora de uma dessas belíssimas "missangas" literárias.

"A missanga, todos a veem. NInguém nota o fio que, em colar vistoso, vai compondo as missangas. TAmbém assim é a voz do poeta: um fio de silêncio costurando o tempo." "A vida é um colar. EU dou o fio, as mulheres dão as missangas. SÃo sempre tantas as missangas." É assim que o donjuanesco personagem do conto "O fio e as missangas" define a sua existência. FAzendo jus a essa delicada metáfora, cada uma das 29 histórias aqui agrupadas alia sua carga poética singular à forma abrangente do livro como um todo - vale dizer, ao colar em questão. COm um texto de intensidade ficcional e condensação formal raras na literatura contemporânea, Mia Couto demora-se em lirismos que a sua maestria de ourives da língua consegue extrair de uma escrita simples, calcada em grande parte na fala do homem da sua terra, Moçambique, um pouco à maneira de Guimarães Rosa, ídolo confesso do autor. A brevidade das pequenas tramas e sua aparente desimportância épica estão focadas na contemplação de situações, de personagens, ou simples estados de espírito plenos de significados implícitos, procedimento típico da poesia. OS neologismos do autor, a que os leitores já se habituaram, para além de mera experimentação formalista revelam-se chaves fundamentais de interpretação da leitura. Não por acaso, a maioria dos contos de O fio das missangas adentram com fina sensibilidade o universo feminino, dando voz e tessitura a almas condenadas à não-existência, ao esquecimento. COmo objetos descartados, uma vez esgotado seu valor de uso, as mulheres são aqui equiparadas ora a uma saia velha, ora a um cesto de comida, ora, justamente, a um fio de missangas. "Agora, estou sentada olhando a saia rodada, a saia amarfanhosa, almarrotada. E Parece que me sento sobre a minha própria vida", diz a narradora de uma dessas belíssimas "missangas" literárias.

Uma vez mais Mia Couto regressa ao conto, género literário que parece ser o da sua maior realização. Estórias breves mas contendo, cada uma delas, as infinitas vidas que se condensam em cada ser humano. Uma vez mais, a linguagem é trabalhada como se fosse delicada filigrana, confirmando o que o autor disse de si mesmo: «conto estórias por via da poesia». São vinte e nove contos unidos como missangas em redor de um fio, que é a escrita encantada de um consagrado fabricador de ilusões.

A dark, poetic mystery about the women of the remote village of Kulumani and the lionesses that hunt them Told through two haunting, interwoven diaries, Mia Couto's Confession of the Lioness reveals the mysterious world of Kulumani, an isolated village in Mozambique whose traditions and beliefs are threatened when ghostlike lionesses begin hunting the women who live there. Mariamar, a woman whose sister was killed in a lioness attack, finds her life thrown into chaos when the outsider Archangel Bullseye, the marksman hired to kill the lionesses, arrives at the request of the village elders. Mariamar's father imprisons her in her home, where she relives painful memories of past abuse and hopes to be rescued by Archangel. Meanwhile, Archangel tracks the lionesses in the wilderness, but when he begins to suspect there is more to them than meets the eye, he starts to lose control of his hands. The hunt grows more dangerous, until it's no safer inside Kulumani than outside it. As the men of Kulumani feel increasingly threatened by the outsider, the forces of modernity upon their traditional culture, and the danger of their animal predators closing in, it becomes clear the lionesses might not be real lionesses at all but spirits conjured by the ancient witchcraft of the women themselves. Both a riveting mystery and a poignant examination of women's oppression, Confession of the Lioness explores the confrontation between the modern world and ancient traditions to produce an atmospheric, gripping novel.

Already well-established in the Lusophone world, Mia Couto is increasingly acknowledged as a major voice in World literature. Winner of the Camões Prize for Literature in 2013, the most prestigious literary prize honouring Lusophone writers, he was awarded the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2014, and in 2015 was shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize. Yet, despite this high profile there are very few full-length critical studiesin English about his writing. Mia Couto is known for his imaginative re-working of Portuguese, making it distinctively Mozambican in character. This book brings together some of the key scholars of his work such as Phillip Rothwell, Luís Madureira, and his long-time English translator David Brookshaw. Contributors examine not only his early works, which were written in the context of the 16-year post-independence civil war in Mozambique, but alsothe wide span of Couto's contemporary writing as a novelist, short story writer, poet and essayist. There are contributions on his work in ecology, theatre and journalism, as well as on translation and Mozambican nationalist politics. Most importantly the contributors engage with the significance of Couto's writing to contemporary discussions of African literature, Lusophone studies and World literature. Grant Hamilton is Associate Professor of English literature at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the editor of Reading Marechera (James Currey, 2013). David Huddart is Associate Professor of English literature at the Chinese University of Hong Kongand is author of Involuntary Associations: World Englishes and Postcolonial Studies (Liverpool University Press, 2014]

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.

In a world overwhelmingly unjust and seemingly deprived of alternatives, this book claims that the alternatives can be found among us. These alternatives are, however, discredited or made invisible by the dominant ways of knowing. Rather than alternatives, therefore, we need an alternative way of thinking of alternatives. Such an alternative way of thinking lies in the knowledges born in the struggles against capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, the three main forms of modern domination. In their immense diversity, such ways of knowing constitute the Global South as an epistemic subject. The epistemologies of the South are guided by the idea that another world is possible and urgently needed; they emerge both in the geographical north and in the geographical south whenever collectives of people fight against modern domination. Learning from and with the epistemic South suggests that the alternative to a general theory is the promotion of an ecology of knowledges based on intercultural and interpolitical translation.
