Description
Standing Heavy is a searingly witty deconstruction of colonial legacies and capitalist consumption, told through the eyes of a security guard who observes the habits of those who come to worship at a Parisian Sephora.
Spanning three generations of Ivoirian immigrants, this compact, humane satire explores the complexities of identity, belonging, and the search for a place to call home in a rapidly changing world.
Translated from the French by Frank Wynne, this novel is a sharply satirical and poignant account of the human experience, full of inventive and very funny moments.
