Description
In the decaying tenements of Dacca House, Dusman Gonzaga ekes out a life surrounded by hunger, grime, and the relentless presence of cockroaches—an environment that mirrors the faceless systems pressing down on him. As the city’s underclass collides with superstition, exploitation, and quiet desperation, Dusman’s struggle becomes a fierce, personal resistance against a society that seems to run on indifference rather than justice. Blending dark humor with psychological intensity, the novel explores madness, survival, and the thin line between endurance and collapse. With Meja Mwangi’s sharp, street-level realism and incisive social vision, this is a haunting portrait of what it means to keep moving when the world feels determined to grind you down.
