Paperback. Zustand: Good. An immensely powerful, cathartic denunciation of poverty, ignorance, global apathy and media blindness. Kigali is both a poignant love story and a stirring hymn to humanity - an essential read for anyone interested in exceptional literature of lasting value. The swimming pool of the Mille-Collines hotel is a magnet for a privileged group of Kigali residents: aid-workers, Rwandan bourgeoisie, soldiers and assorted expatriates. Prostitutes and birds abound too. Among these patrons is the waitress Gentille, a beautiful Hutu often mistaken for a Tutsi, long admired by Valcourt, a Canadian journalist and film-maker. As the two test the water with a love affair, civil unrest in Rwanda makes insidious, inevitable progress. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.…

Zustand: FINE. First UK printing. The first novel by this French Canadian journalist, a love story that takes place in the days leading up to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, winner of the Prix des Libraires. Among those at the swimming pool of the Mille-Collines hotel, Kigali, in the early 1990s, is Bernard Valcourt, a documentary filmmaker from Quebec. The story of this developing catastrophe is revealed through the lives of a handful of Rwandans who befriend Valcourt. They confide in him because he listens, and because his interviews offer them a chance to try to change the way things are by telling the world. Threatened, frightened, sick, they don't want to talk and act like they're dying. Poor as they are, they want to have some moments of pleasure and celebrate life. Translated from the French by Patricia Claxton. 258 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.…
