Heliopolis

œHeliopolis” is a truly original rags-to-riches tale, reminiscent of Paulo Lins’™ ‘œCity of God”, by James Scudamore, the award-winning author of ‘œThe Amnesia Clinic”.As a child Ludo is plucked out of the shantytown where he was born and transported to a world of languid, cosseted luxury. Now twenty-seven, he works high above the above the sprawling metropolis of Sรฃo Paulo for a vacuous `communications company’™. But this is not his world, and this is not a simple rags-to-riches story: Ludo`s destiny moves him around like a chess piece, showing him both extremities of opulent excess and abject poverty, taking him to the brink of madness and brutality.What’™s all the more impressive is that this genuine depiction of a third world urban sprawl would come from a British writer.
