<i>The Blind Fisherman</i> is a compilation of Mia Couto's early short stories - as first presented to the English-speaking world in his two collections <i>Voices Made Night</i> (1990) and <i>Every Man is a Race</i> (1994). Originally written in Portuguese, it was in these collections that Mia Couto first announced himself as a writer of international importance, constructing stories that blended the unique history of Mozambique with a magic realism that was both inspired by and transcendent of the legacy of Portuguese colonialism and the subsequent civil war. |
