Lusophone Lit Prize
Quite the day for prizes, it seems. Angolan writer Maria de Fatima Cho do Guri has won the Marques de Vale Flor Institute prize for her novel, Chiquito da Camuchiba. I know it sounds bizarre but news like this sort of stresses me out because it makes me realize how much world literature is out there that I’ve never heard of and, unless I decide to learn more languages, will never get to read either.
