Overview

In this final novel by Williams Sassine, the story begins reflectively with an interpretation of the world of the exiles—the white patrons that admire the purity of the black people and the Africans who in turn desire all that the white man possesses. It is from this situation that Céroe, who has decided to live no longer as a nobody, embarks upon a journey that terminates at the home of his ancestors. En ésta, la última novela de Williams Sassine, la acción se desarrolla en Senegal y Guinea Conakry. Empieza con una poca piadosa descripción del mundillo de los exiliados, de los patronos blancos que admiran la pureza del negro, y del negro que desea todo lo que el blanco posee. En este mundo, Céroe, decidido a convertirse en héroe partiendo de cero, aprovecha la muerte del dictador y la de una vieja tía de la que espera una jugosa herencia para emprender un hilarante viaje hasta llegar finalmente a Kankán, la ciudad natal de la familia, en lo que el autor denomina "un viaje a través de la miseria."
