Mia Couto in conversation with Pilar Quintana

Mia Couto (Mozambique) is the first Portuguese language writer to win the PEN/Nabokov Prize. He became well known for works such as Sleepwalking Land and the Sands of the Emperor trilogy. He has received many distinctions, including the Camões Prize, the Guadalajara Book Fair Award for Literature in Romance Languages, and he was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. His most recent book, O mapeador do ausências, is his most autobiographical to date, telling the story of a Mozambican intellectual who returns to his home city, where he confronts memories of his childhood and his father, while he meets a magnetic woman with whom he shares a tangled past.
