"... He gave in to the workers' whims. We thought he even spoiled them. He picked them up at their homes by car in the morning and drove each of them right to the front of their own homes at night. He tipped them every day. At the worksite he congratulated them over a small brick set just so, or even for pushing a wheelbarrow of sand from a little further away. ..." #bluewhitered #alainmabanckou #alisondundy #frenchliterature #translatedliterature #simplelifestyle #similartomysituation #parisianstyle #parisianlifestyle #lovethyneighbor #citylife #collegelife #averyseriousmatter #coffeeshop #hotchocolate #chocolatemuffin #westloop (at La Colombe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwP7iJtgUpt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11jazkogsytlb

Here in 2017's 11th hour, we're trying to squeeze in a few books we didn't have a chance to read this year. Next up: Congolese novelist, poet, and essayist Alain Mabanckou's BLACK MOSES. Billed as "Oliver Twist in 1970s Africa," Black Moses was recently shortlisted for the 2018 Albertine Prize along with Unabridged favorites COMPASS and NOT ONE DAY. Translated from the French by Helen Stevenson. 🇨🇬 #translatedtuesday #blackmoses #alainmabanckou (at Unabridged Bookstore)

[📍New Article - Book📚] L'article littérature du jour est consacré à une nouvelle pépite du brillant @mabanckou : "Verre cassé" - Roman publié en 2005. Ce qui me fascine toujours, c'est la finesse avec laquelle Mabanckou nous transporte dans la vie de ses personnages au quotidien bien éloigné du notre. Il le fait avec une telle subtilité qu'il est impossible de résister à cette immersion programmée ✨... . La suite de l'article ici 😜👉🏾https://tyitelle.wordpress.com/2017/05/20/verre-casse-alain-mabanckou-congo/ #Book #TWYL #Africa #Congo #Reading #Blogging #VerreCassé #AlainMabanckou
