Evening Voices is a song to the people of Mozambique, whose cry for liberation remains drowned in a twilight of human and material misery. Through a series of short stories, Mia Couto takes us to his native land, bringing us closer to the color and beauty of its customs, the peculiarities of its language, and the hopes and sorrows of its people, in communion with an exuberant and capricious nature. Humor, obscurantism, santeria and superstition are brilliantly combined in stories that oscillate between madness and the harshest reality, between tenderness and cruelty. The beauty of this work lies in the author's effort to achieve universality, to find original parables in which human archetypes and desires are reflected.
António Emílio Leite Couto, better known as Mia Couto, is a Mozambican writer. He won the Camões Prize in 2013, the most important literary award in the Portuguese language, and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2014.
