“Tarrafal is the prison in me”

Interview with José Luandino Vieira about the Papéis da Prisão

In José Luandino Vieira's Papéis da Prisão project, it was important to put the voice and vision of present-day Luandino into dialogue with the texts and facts of past Luandino, gathered and referred to in the Papéis da Prisão. In order to achieve this objective, the interview format was chosen. This took place between Luandino, Margarida Calafate Ribeiro and Roberto Vecchi at various times (between May-August 2015) in Vila Nova de Cerveira. The reader can access this interview here.
