<b>Sony Labou Tansi''s surreal portrait of a despised and incompetent regime is a biting, burlesque fable, incisive in its description of postcolonial life.</b>History has been silenced in this modern African state: only the voices of the dead cry out for justice. It is a cry answered by Estina Bronzario, the Woman of Bronze, determined to act against the political and moral corruption of male-dominated society.Murders escalate, crowds ebb and flow, and the years roll by. But all the while, the police never come... ''Central Africa''s greatest writer.'' <b><i>New York Times</i></b>''No greater genius than Sony Lab''ou Tansi.'' <b><i>Independent</i></b>''Sublimely surreal allegory... Tansi [is] one of Africa''s important voices.'' <b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b>
