Revised edition of Broken Glass published in 2010.
Broken Glass is a tragicomic novel set in the Republic of the Congo, where a former schoolteacher, Broken Glass, records the lives of patrons of a run-down bar, Credit Gone West. The story revolves around the patrons' struggles to document their lives, as they try to rewrite history to reflect their lives. Broken Glass's portrayal of the characters is influenced by African and Western literature, making it a mocking satire of artistic integrity.
