Full of wit and music, The Villain's Dance shows Booker-Prize longlisted author Fiston Mwanza Mujila is back with a bang. A journey into the chaotic heart of the Zaire-Angola borderlands of the 1990s, where a rollicking cast of characters see their fortunes rise and fall. Things are drawing to a head, but at the Mambo de la Fête, they still dance the Villain's Dance from dusk till dawn.
