Deogratias, A Tale of Rwanda

Now with a new introduction by Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse.

The the harrowing tale of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda unfolds, as seen through the eyes of a boy named Deogratias. Stassen's tale takes us back and forth in time, showing only before and after the killings—and inexorably revealing the grip of madness they had on one boy and his country.

Deogratias is difficult, beautiful, honest, and heartbreaking, this is a major work by a masterful artist. And now as a reissue, it's getting a second chance to impact new readers.
