Pepetela

Did you know about Pepetela, an Angolan writer? I didn't.

The whole world of Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) literature beckons....

Did you know that Portuguese is the official language not just in Brazil and Portugal, but also in such diverse places as East Timor, Macau, and of course, Angola, and Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé e Príncipe? I didn't....

Goa (India) and Melaka (Malaysia) are also Lusophone, and so is, perhaps, Gunma (Japan).

I must find Pepetela's novels.

Eu tenho que encontrar seus romances.
