Description
Paulo Scott's second novel to appear in English probes the old wounds of race in Brazil; and in particular the loss of a black identity independent from the history of slavery. Exploratory rather than didactic; a story of crime; street-life; and regret as much as a satirical novel of ideas; Phenotypes is a seething masterpiece of rage and reconciliation.
