Revolution

Revolution | Jakob Ejersbo

4 posts | 6 read | 3 to read

Revolution is a collection of eleven short stories that act as a vital bridge between the novels Exile and Liberty. But it is also so much more than that. Ejersbo had a remarkable and unaffected talent for getting inside the heads of his characters: Moses, a worker in a Tanzanite mine who lives in hope of striking it rich; Sofie, a Greenlander who joins a French conman on his trip around the world; Rachel, who tries to make a life for herself in a city where everyone sees her as a whore in waiting. You feel that Ejerbso could have written from the heart of every person living in Tanzania; and that you could go on reading them forever.

Disturbing and depressing but also rewarding and great.

Very frank depiction of Tanzania down to its gritty and violent details. The value of life seems to mean little when everyone is trying to survive in an atmosphere of corruption and greed. Some graphic details, the author doesn't hold back. But he has a kind of understanding to their plight and doesn't judge them for their actions. A couple meandering stories but I enjoyed the book overall. (8/10)

Tough read but immensely rewarding. Insight into a country/continent without having to feel uninvited.

Almost done with book two of Ejerbo's Africa Trilogy. It came recommended from a fellow book clubber as a vacation read for our trip to Tanzania #partdeuxbookclub
