In a crumbling apartment block in Luanda, impoverished families hoard memories to survive a corrupt regime. Odonato - nostalgic for the days of socialism - searches for his son, a petty criminal. As his hope drains away, Odonato's flesh becomes transparent and his body increasingly weightless. A captivating blend of magical realism, scathing political satire, and literary experimentation, 'Slow Red' confirms Ondjaki as one of Africa's major writers.
