At age 16, Dipita's mother, Mbila, arrived in Switzerland from Cameroon. Trafficked into Europe, she supported herself and her son as a prostitute in Geneva. Dipita, now a young, black, gay man serving a five-year sentence in a Swiss prison, shares their story and his own search for purpose. He intertwines their stories with the life of Uncle DeÌmoney, a former civil servant in Cameroon, who staked everything on sending his sister to Switzerland. 39 Berne Street explores the complex themes of prostitution, immigration, and homosexuality through a fluid and expressive prose that makes it ring true. Originally published in French, it won the Prix du Roman des Romands in 2014. Max Lobe's 39 Berne Street vividly describes the unforgivable actions visited by family members upon family members in desperate bids for survival and contentment in the midst of Dipita's struggle toward forgiveness and acceptance"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Translated from the French. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lobe, Max. $t 39 berne street $d Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 2023 $z 9780253064936 $w (DLC) 2022042893 700 1 $a McCalmont, Johanna, $e translator. 700 1 $i Translation of (expression) $a Lobe, Max, $d 1986- $t 39, rue de Berne. 830 0 $a Global African voices. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8059A424DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
