Cronicontoes of the Head of the Old – Adelino Albano Luís

CRONISTS OF THE OLD HEAD

Cronicontos of the old man's head is literally a collection of the first stories written by Adelino Albano Luís in which, with an easy, common and outgoing language, tells some perpetia and experiences inspired by his hometown. Therefore, the present book is also a toast to the city of the head of the old (Chimoio).

Within the plots of the book, the supernatural is normal; the mad also dictate the rules (Zé Television); the funeral agencies provoke enmity (The "Angels of the Earth"); love fulfills its own laws (The Love of Titus); machismo is called into question (The Last Letter to Fombe); Bernardo Honwana's "We Kill the Tinhful Dog" has a relationship with a certain seller of Badjias (the Seller of Badjias and the Tinhose Dog).

Cronicontoes of the Head of the Old is, in the words of its author, a sympathetic book worthy of reading.
