<br/><br/> On the eve of Angolan independence, an agoraphobic woman named Ludo bricks herself into her Luanda apartment for 30 years, living off vegetables and the pigeons she lures in with diamonds, burning her furniture and books to stay alive and writing her story on the apartment’s walls.<br/>Almost as if we’re eavesdropping, the history of Angola unfolds through the stories of those she sees from her window.<br/>Translated from the Portuguese by Daniel Hahn.<br/><br/>(https://archipelagobooks.org/book/a-general-theory-of-oblivion/)
