Synopsis
For singing subversive songs, Teza is sent to 20 years of solitary confinement by the Burmese government. Cut off completely from the outside world (except for occasional scraps of newspaper), Teza nevertheless continues to exert a radical influence on his brutal jailers. Eventually, he befriends a boy, Little Brother, who has grown up inside the jail, and in such a tenuous and terrible environment, their delicate bond proves beautiful and precious. A poet and non-fiction writer, Karen Connelly lived for two years among Burmese exiles, and THE LIZARD CAGE, her debut novel, shows a dark understanding of how totalitarianism can affect the human heart.
