Born in Beira, Mozambique, Mia Couto was director of the Mozambican state news agency during the years following his country’s independence from Portugal, and later worked as a newspaper editor and journalist. Since the late 1980s, he has combined the profession of environmental biologist with that of writer. Couto is the author of nearly 30 books of fiction, essays and poems that have been translated into more than 25 languages. He has won major literary prizes in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Portugal, Brazil, Italy and the United States. In 2013 Couto was awarded the Camoes Prize, given to a Portuguese-language writer for his life’s work. In 2014 he received the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, dubbed “the American Nobel.” In 2015 he was a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize for The Tuner of Silences, published by Bibloasis, also long-listed for the 2015 Dublin IMPAC Award. Biblioasis also published his selected essays, Pensativities: Essays & Provocations (2015). Couto’s novel Confession of the Lioness was shortlisted for the 2017 International Dublin Literary Award. Mia Couto lives with his family in Maputo, Mozambique, where he works as an environmental consultant.
