«L'Analphabète qui savait compter» is the humorous novel by Jonas Jonasson, published by Pocket in paperback (480 pages, in French).
Nombeko grows up in the largest ghetto in South Africa without knowing how to read or write, but with an astonishing facility for mathematics. A series of coincidences takes her to Sweden with a nuclear bomb she will try to defuse. The novel uses misunderstandings and absurd situations to satirize power, inequality and stereotypes.
The original Swedish work was titled «Analfabeten som kunde räkna» (2013); this limited French «Collector» edition features a translation by Carine Bruy.
Recommended for readers of humor and contemporary fiction, as well as for book clubs seeking novels with social criticism.
