Humus

Summary

Humus by Raul Brandao is a book in fragments, part novel and part prose poem, that moves between a provincial town, the dreams of its people and a dialogue with the dead. A hard, strange and much-admired book of Portuguese modernism, with the shabby voice of the Gabiru's papers running through it.
