When their mother sends them off to live with their father in Mali they begin to grow apart, until, as young adults in Paris, Ivana's youthful altruism compels her to join the police academy, while Ivan, stunted by early experiences of rejection and exploitation, walks the path of radicalization. The twins, unable to live either with or without each other, become perpetrator and victim in a wave of violent attacks. In The Wondrous and Tragic Life of Ivan and Ivana, Maryse CondeÌ, winner of the 2018 Alternative Nobel prize in literature, touches upon major contemporary issues such as racism, terrorism, political corruption, economic inequality, globalization, and migration. With her most modern novel to date, this master storyteller offers an impressive picture of a colorful yet turbulent 21st century. 650 0 $a Twins $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Muslim converts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Terrorists $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Guadeloupe $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mali $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Philcox, Richard, $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018022659.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103013738.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200902012302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5CAEAFE6BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
