Alain Mabanckou — Black Moses

Serpent's Tail 2017 Hardback. ""It all began when I was a teenager, and came to wonder about the name I'd been given by Papa Moupelo, the priest at the orphanage in Lonago: Tokumisa Mzambe po Mose yamoyindo abotmai namboka ya Bakoko. A long name, which in Lingala means "thanks be to God, the black Moses is born on the earth of our ancestors". DJ. DJ faded on spine, slight foxing on page edges.", (ISBN: 9781781256732). Good.
