Extraordinary vision ... his prose is suffused with striking images The Washington Post To read Mia Couto is to encounter a peculiarly African sensibility, a writer of fluid, fragmentary narratives ... remarkable New Statesman

"The Blind Fisherman" is a compilation of Mia Couto's early short stories - as first presented to the English-speaking world in his two collections: "Voices Made Night" (1990) and "Every Man is a Race" (1994). It was in these collections that Mia Couto first announced himself as a writer of international importance, constructing stories that blended the unique history of Mozambique with a magic realism that both transcended and was inspired by the legacy of Portuguese colonialism and the subsequent civil war.
