Book Review: Shadows of your Black Memory
Donato Ndongo's novel Shadows of your Black Memory, recently published in English translation by Swan Isle Press, received a glowing review in the March 2nd issue of The Independent:
This accomplished novel describes the love of something mercilessly elusive: a magical and transitory space floating between the past and the future, an eternal present wherein the moon is 'round and red, stained with the blood of the sun hidden behind the mountains.' Originally written in Spanish, Donato Ndongo's remarkable and strikingly original novel appears now in a subtle and elegant translation by Michael Ugarte, which does full justice to the dreamily poetic nature of the narrative.
