Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida has accepted a two-book deal from Farrar, Straus and Giroux for publication of Zion and Luanda, Lisboa, Paradise. Zion is a “triptych” of novellas about the agony and guilt of men who must live with the legacy of slavery, colonialism, and the spoils of the Portuguese empire. Luanda, Lisboa, Paradise, which won the Oceanos Prize, probably the most prestigious in the Lusophone world, is a migration story that offers a vivid portrait of the Angolan community in Portugal.
