Chaos in Kinshasa: A Thriller Set in the Heart of Africa
From beloved Congolese comics creator Barly Baruti and Belgian comics critic Thierry Bellefroid, translated from the original French by Batchelder Award-winning translator Ivanka Hahnenberger, "Chaos in Kinshasa" is a gripping tale of adventure, espionage, and intrigue set in the vibrant and dangerous world of 1970s Zaire.
When Ernest, a low-level gangster from Harlem, wins tickets to travel to Zaire to attend the Rumble in the Jungle, the now-legendary bout between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, he is eager to reconnect with his African roots and escape the ruthless gang leaders he is indebted to back home. But in Zaire, Ernest becomes entangled in an Angolan coup against the country's embattled president Mobutu Sese Seko—inspired by Che Guevara himself—and soon realizes that Zaire may hold even more dangers for him than Harlem ever could.
A Cold-War-era thriller set against the backdrop of a landmark moment in sports history, "Chaos in Kinshasa" features Barly Baruti's characteristic art and Thierry Bellefroid's punchy dialogue woven in with the elements of a great gangster story—sex, spies, bribes, and murder. A thrill ride through a pivotal moment in Cold War, African, and sports history.
