Black Leather Shoes
While living in Canada she goes for an appointment to a hospital. The physiotherapist that interviews her is wearing a pair of shiny and well cared for black leather shoes that transport her in a flashback to her native country El Salvador, torn by war, remembering the times since she was little and the images of her in a pair of black leather shoes and the events of the war she witnessed and survived trough. The flashback is ended by the strong odour of formaldehyde as she finds herself lost in the hospital.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Meaningful Resistance
Exploring marketization, local practices, and protests, this book shows how market-driven subsistence threats can be powerful loci for resistance movements.
