Description
Baho! A Novel by Roland Rugero is set against the backdrop of war-torn Burundi's green hillsides. When Nyamuragi, an adolescent mute, attempts to ask for directions, his gestures are misinterpreted as premeditation for rape. This sets off a chain reaction of pursuit, mob justice, and Nyamuragi's attempts at explanation. The novel explores the concepts of miscommunication and justice in the face of war-torn Burundi. Through Nyamuragi's story, Rugero sheds light on the complexities of human interaction and the devastating consequences of mistaken assumptions. Roland Rugero's second novel is a powerful exploration of the human condition, translated into English for the first time.
