Description
Transparent City is a poignant and surreal novel set in a crumbling Angolan city. In this haunting tale, Odonato's life unravels as he searches for his lost son amidst the changing landscape of Luanda.
The narrative weaves together disparate stories, spanning from tragedy to comedy, and from the everyday to the surreal, creating a vivid depiction of near-future Luanda. As Odonato's hopes dwindle, his body undergoes a strange transformation, becoming increasingly weightless and transparent.
