The Boy Who Speaks in Numbers is a darkly satiric account of childhood in times of war. Set in Sri Lanka, the events it narrates could equally happen elsewhere -- in all places where human deaths are reduced to numbers, and where guns do not differentiate between adults and children. Mike Masilamani's ironic narrative centers around an unnamed boy who is more at home with numbers rather than words. Along with a constantly chattering -- and prophetic -- cow he bears witness to a bizarre and violent time. Matthew Frame's textured illustrations are a powerful testimony to the absurd horror of prolonged civil strife. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Slight over the top descriptions and word punning, but some memorable phrases and phrase turns - constantly complaining cow, small village of fat hopes, island of short memories. Describes the Journey of a boy while he navigates through the daily routines of a refugee camps and how the power changes hands and it all ends up in a circus!
