Sobre IBD

This novel traces the fortunes of a bloody dictator - the Leader - in an unnamed African country. The story is rich in imagery which draws from both indigeneous verbal art forms and a perceived Western tradition of aesthetics. It evokes a land caught in the dance of death, and the affirmative principles that can triumph.
