"Who is this solitary young woman on the top floor of a luxury building in Luanda, Angola's capital, and why has she walled off her apartment? Her name is Ludo...Her brooding presence is inescapable" -- Kirkus Reviews

On the eve of Angolan independence, an agoraphobic woman named Ludo bricks herself into her Luandan apartment for 30 years, living off vegetables and the pigeons she lures in with diamonds, burning her furniture and books to stay alive and writing her story on the apartment's walls.
Almost as if we're eavesdropping, the history of Angola unfolds in A General Theory of Oblivion through the stories of those Ludo sees from her window in a a wild patchwork of a novel, playing on a love of storytelling and fable.
