Kirkus Reviews
On the eve of Angolan independence, an agoraphobic woman named Ludo bricks herself into her Luandan apartment for 30 years, living off vegetables and the pigeons she lures in with diamonds, burning her furniture and books to stay alive and writing her story on the apartment’s walls.

A General Theory of Oblivion
through the stories of those Ludo sees from her window in a a wild patchwork of a novel, playing on a love of storytelling and fable.
