SYNOPSIS
'Sharp and entertaining' Times Literary Supplement
'One of Africa's greatest living writers' Guardian
Abruptly deceased at the age of twenty-four and trapped forever in flared purple trousers, Liwa Ekimakingaï encounters the other residents of Frère Lachaise cemetery, all of whom have their own complex stories of life and death.
Unwilling to relinquish their tender bond, Liwa makes his way back home to Pointe-Noire to see his devoted grandmother one last time, against all spectral advice. But disturbing rumours swirl together with Liwa's jumbled memories of his last night on earth, leading him to pursue the riddle of his own untimely demise. A phantasmagorical tale of ambition, community and forces beyond human control, Dealing with the Dead is a scathing satire on corruption and political violence by one of the foremost chroniclers of modern Central Africa.
'Africa's Samuel Beckett' Economist
Translated from the French by Helen Stevenson

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Alain Mabanckou
Alain Mabanckou (Pointe-Noire, República do Congo, 24 de fevereiro de 1966) é um escritor congolês, com dupla nacionalidade franco-congolês.
Estudou Direito em Brazzaville e, posteriormente, em França. Após concluir a pós-graduação na Universidade Paris-Dauphine, trabalhou durante vários anos em importantes multinacionais francesas antes de se consagrar por completo à literatura. Reside nos Estados Unidos, como professor convidado desde 2002; inicialmente como professor de literatura francófona e de "escrita criativa" na Universidade de Michigan e, mais recentemente, na Universidade de Califórnia (UCLA), com disciplinas de literatura francófona.
É autor de doze romances, seis livros de poesia, dois livros infantojuvenis e de diversos relatos que são publicados em distintos periódicos como Le Figaro (Paris), Le Soir (Bruxelas) e em duas obras coletivas: Relatos de África ("Nouvelles d’Afrique") em 2003 e Visto desde a Lua, relatos otimistas ("Vu de la lune, Nouvelles optimistes") em 2005.
Em 2006, com o romance Memórias de porco-espinho, conseguiu o importante prémio Renaudot. Em 2008, Mabanckou traduziu do inglês para o francês a obra de Uzodinma Iweala, um escritor nigeriano considerado como um jovem prodígio da literatura norte-americana.
Entre 2015 e 2016, o escritor lecionou no Collège de France na cadeira de Criação artística, com o curso intitulado de Letras negras: das trevas à luz (transformado em livro posteriormente).
