Recently hailed by The New York Times as “An African Novelist Poised for Recognition in the U.S.,” Alain Mabanckou’s latest novel, Black Moses, was longlisted for the 2017 Man Booker Prize; this renewed spotlight provides the perfect opportunity to reissue one of his most celebrated works, Broken Glass
Mabanckou is one of the most well-known writers in the French language; The Economist named him “Africa’s Samuel Beckett.” The surge in popularity of writers of the African diaspora, and Mabanckou’s own successes in English translation, mark a special moment to reissue one of his best-known and most highly regarded works to date
Mabanckou remains a regular headline-maker, like The Guardian's recent piece "Macron's French language crusade bolsters imperialism - Congo novelist" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/19/emmanuel-macron-challenged-over-attitude-to-frances-former-colonies
