* Afrique Contemporaine *
In Koli Jean Bofane shows a reality that we do not know how to see. Or, maybe, that we don't want to see.
* La Croix *
The best noir fiction can be a means to capture the complexities and inequalities of an entire city, a lens for social critique, and still a damn good mystery. In Koli Jean Bofane's Casablanca Story is all three—and a prescient warning about climate change, as the hot desert winds buffet the working-class neighborhoods of Casablanca that make up the book's setting.
