Opis

Intrigued by texted sonorities - the rhythms, musics, ordinary noises and sounds of language in narratives - this title examines the soundscapes in contemporary Francophone novels such as Ousmane Sembene's "God's Bits of Wood" (Senegal), and Patrick Chamoiseau's "Solibo Magnificent" (Martinique).
