Day 94/100: Tram 83 by Fiston Mwanza Mujila (Translated by Roland Glasser)

Two friends, one a budding writer home from abroad, the other an ambitious racketeer, meet in the most notorious nightclub - Tram 83 - surrounded by profit-seekers of all languages and nationalities. Tram 83 plunges the reader into the modern African gold rush as cynical as it is comical, using jazz rhythms to weave a tale of human relationships in a world that has become a global village.
