Mohamed Nadifa Title : I gentiluomini di fortuna
Author: Mohamed Nadifa
Publisher: Fazi

In questo romanzo potentissimo, meritatamente incluso nella rosa dei finalisti al Booker Prize, Nadifa Mohamed ricostruisce con grande cura la vera storia di Mahmood Mattan, l’ultima persona a essere giustiziata per impiccagione a Cardiff e la prima a essere riabilitata dopo che, nel 1998, fu dichiarato vittima di un caso di malagiustizia - Cardiff, 1952. Mahmood Mattan, un giovane marinaio somalo, è disoccupato e si è sistemato in una stanza presso un affittacamere di infima categoria: la moglie Laura – gallese, bianca – non vuole più averlo tra i piedi se non si decide a rigare dritto. Mahmood, però, non intende rinunciare ai suoi figli, a cui è molto legato, né alla sua donna e per provvedere a loro va avanti a piccoli furti e scommesse: ha un carattere orgoglioso, testardo, riottoso, ma è fiero delle sue origini e della sua storia; è analfabeta, ma è un poliglotta e un uomo d’esperienza. Tutto cambia, per lui, quando Violet Volacki, una negoziante ebrea della zona, viene brutalmente assassinata, e la famiglia offre una ricompensa di duecento sterline a chiunque fornisca elementi validi per trovare il colpevole. All’inizio Mahmood è convinto di poter ignorare le voci che cominciano a circolare su di lui: sarà pure un giocatore d’azzardo e un ladruncolo, ma non è un assassino. È un padre, è forte della sua innocenza e ha fiducia nella giustizia. Con l’avvicinarsi del processo, però, la sua prospettiva cambia, e il giovane uomo si trova a dover lottare strenuamente per la sua vita, con tutte le carte contro di lui: un’indagine scadente, un sistema legale disumano e un razzismo pervasivo e radicato nella società. All’ombra del cappio del boia, Mahmood inizierà a rendersi conto che anche la verità potrebbe non essere sufficiente a salvarlo.

Mohamed Nadifa Title : Black Mamba Boy
Author: Mohamed Nadifa
Publisher: Picador USA

Yemen, 1935. Jama is a “market boy,” a half-feral child scavenging with his friends in the dusty streets of a great seaport. For Jama, life is a thrilling carnival, at least when he can fill his belly. When his mother—alternately raging and loving—dies young, she leaves him only an amulet stuffed with one hundred rupees. Jama decides to spend her life's meager savings on a search for his never-seen father; the rumors that travel along clan lines report that he is a driver for the British somewhere in the north. So begins Jama's extraordinary journey of more than a thousand miles north all the way to Egypt, by camel, by truck, by train, but mostly on foot. He slings himself from one perilous city to another, fiercely enjoying life on the road and relying on his vast clan network to shelter him and point the way to his father, who always seems just a day or two out of reach.

In his travels, Jama will witness scenes of great humanity and brutality; he will be caught up in the indifferent, grinding machine of war; he will crisscross the Red Sea in search of working papers and a ship. Bursting with life and a rough joyfulness, Black Mamba Boy is debut novelist Nadifa Mohamed's vibrant, moving celebration of her family's own history.
