Night of the World

Award Winning Colombian Decolonial Philosopher rewrites the Mayan Popul Vuh.

A kaleidoscopic dystopian work of fiction-meeting-poetry weaving together Orwellian and Kafkaesque terrors in a story of a young woman's political awakening. The first installment of the Night of the World Trilogy where Mayan myth meets contemporary London.

The first installment of the Night of the World trilogy is replete with images sampled from Oscar Guardiola-Rivera's work as a decolonial thinker and professor. He takes the reader through an epic that re-writes the Mayan Popul Vuh for 21st Century Britain. Part-dystopia, part-manifesto, the reader follows Hoodoo Girl in her escape from sinister forces in London where poets die in disposable high-rise towers and ghosts populate the streets.
