Paradise

Paradise

Abdulrazak Gurnah

Born in East Africa, Yusuf has few qualms about the journey he is to make. It never occurs to him to ask why he is accompanying Uncle Aziz or why the trip has been organised so suddenly, and he does not think to ask when he will be returning. But the truth is that his uncle is a rich and powerful merchant and Yusuf has been pawned to him to pay his fathers debts, Paradise is a rich tapestry of myth, dreams and Biblical and Koranic tradition, the story of a young boys coming of age against the backdrop of an Africa increasingly corrupted by colonialism and violence.
