New York. 1989. Simon & Schuster. Advance Uncorrected Reader's Proof. Good in Wrappers. 0671675664. Translated from the French by Marjolijn De Jager. 203 pages. paperback. keywords: Literature Zaire Africa Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER-BEFORE THE BIRTH OF THE MOON is a story of passion, love and power, of deception and hate. It is a story of the romance of a statesman and a prostitute caught in a web of sincere lies and manipulations, a man and a woman reflecting each other like distorted mirrors. Their complex relationship, set in the steamy, smoke-filled night world of Kinshasa, Zaire, is a powerful metaphor for a society's struggle to spring from a trap of dependence and regain a sense of self-determination. BEFORE THE BIRTH OF THE MOON was published in France as Le bel immonde. It is V. Y. Mudimbe's second novel and his fiction debut in the United States. An established literary figure in France, this award-winning novelist, poet and scholar lays bare the consciousness of post-colonial Africa. inventory #22207.
