Ananda Devi is the great lady of Mauritian letters. Designated “Voice of Maurice” by Le Clézio, she recounts in her new novel the excesses of her island, where tectonic upheavals add to the greed of men, threatening to plunge the country into total chaos. A fable about the end of human civilization, this futuristic story features chameleons waiting in the wings for humans to eventually self-destruct to take their place.
