Apa dulce-Akwaeke Emezi

Ap? Dulce a f?cut toat? vālva necesar? īn 2018 ?i 2019 pentru a fi pe lista must read a tuturor publica?iilor importante.

Un roman despre „frumoasa nebunie”, construit īn jurul personajului Ada ?i al ideii de identitate fracturat?, Ap? dulce a ap?rut īn limba romān? īn traducerea lui Cristian Fula?, īn colec?ia Endorfiction.

Inspirāndu-se din mitologia nigerian?, īntr-un stil cānd colocvial, intim, senzual, cānd poetic, incantatoriu, Emezi transform? īntregul roman īntr-o camer? de marmur?, īn care r?sun? memorabil vocile acestor zei sāngero?i, īn c?utare de teritorii umane demne de locuit. Cum va reu?i o singur? fiin?? uman? s? le con?in?? Cea mai nou? endorfin? literar?, a se citi īn apropierea unei fāntāni.
