Phenotypes

by Paulo Scott ...

Translated by Daniel Hahn ...

Paulo Scott's second novel to appear in English probes the old wounds of race in Brazil; and in particular the loss of a black identity independent from the history of slavery.

Now our hero is resident in a retirement home, where fending off boredom is far more gruelling than making tacos. Plagued by the ... Read more
