The Strange ordinariness of Ondjaki's Os transparentes

Abstract

This article seeks to show how Onjaki's work Os transparentes contributes to the writing of everyday life in the post-war Luandese context. First, we will question the study of the ordinary in literature in order to understand subsequently how this perspective of analysis seems particularly relevant to this work. In a third part we will observe how this ordinary experience leads to a deviation from reality due to an unsuitable and unfavorable political and social context.
