JUAN TOMÁS ÁVILA LAUREL was born in 1966 in Equatorial Guinea. The Gurugu Pledge is his second novel to appear in English, and follows his 2015 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize-shortlisted debut By Night the Mountain Burns, which was based on his memories of growing up on the remote island of Annobón. He made headlines in 2011 by embarking on a hunger strike, in an anti-government protest. He now lives exiled in Barcelona.
JETHRO SOUTAR is a translator of Spanish and Portuguese. He has translated novels from Argentina, Brazil, Portugal and Guinea-Bissau, and his translation of Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel’s previous work, By Night the Mountain Burns, was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. He is a co-founder of Ragpicker Press and Editor of Dedalus Africa. He lives in Lisbon.
