Re: Portuguese Literature
"Who killed mangy dog" - I read it after working in Mozambique in the 1970s, shortly after independence. Remember the title story very clearly. Honwana captures the essence of Portuguese colonialism in a quiet, non-didactic way. Which is the most effective way, through a understated description of a social situation. Sometimes wonder what happened to him. Does anyone know?
