Book Synopsis


Trade Review

This is Diop's way of digging out of a silent history.

* Contemporary Francophone Writers and the Burden of Commitment *

Clear-sighted and desperate, speaks relentlessly of Africa bruised at the hands of local and foreign politicians, brutal, greedy, merciless. A brave novel that pulls no punches.

-- International Alliance of Independent Publishers

A dark, ferocious novel that you won't put down unscathed, and certainly not any more confident in the goodness in the hearts of humankind.

-- Maurice Mourier * La Quinzaine Litteraire *

Always opinionated, always passionate, and always worth reading.
