«El mundo incierto de Vikram Lall» is the historical fiction novel by M. G. Vassanji, published by Salamandra in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
From his exile in Canada, Vikram Lall recalls his youth in Kenya with his sister Deepa, between Hindu culture and the country they love. During the transition to independence, the Mau Mau guerrilla and racial tensions mark his life; the reader judges whether his story was adaptation or exploitation of circumstances.
The novel, originally published as «The In-Between World of Vikram Lall», received the 2003 Giller Prize and is part of Salamandra's Narrativa collection.
For readers interested in colonial Kenya, African independence, and narratives of identity and belonging.
