A nameless young man lives in the housing projects outside of Paris. When he was a child, his parents moved with him from the Congo to France, hoping in vain to escape poverty and violence. His best friend, Drissa, is in a psychiatric hospital and now Mireille, his girlfriend, the woman with whom he has shared his childhood and hopes, has left him to reconnect with her Jewish roots in Israel. During a night out to drown the pain of his heartache, there is a fight with a policeman, the policeman dies, and the young man is arrested and taken to jail. Between police beatings and abrupt interrogations, his memory becomes his sole ally to escape from the exiguous space in which he is confined. Half-conscious and delirious, he reflects on his journey from the land of his ancestors to his life in the projects with Drissa and Mireille.… (mere)

Won this in a Goodreads Giveaway in exchange for a review. This novella is essentially a stream of conscience of a French man that has just been arrested. Poignant style with a good translation. It kept me engaged and I was not expecting the ending. ( )

A lot packed into this slim volume. Displacement of spirit, alienation, racial entrapment in multiple cultural and geographic worlds and spaces are, often excruciatingly, articulated with the whole panoply of emotion that should be expected. I don't believe these experiences are only confined to the Franco-Congolese, but the experiences of those from African cultures living in the midst of their former colonial overseers highlights cultural rifts throughout out current world. Parse this book if you seek to understand this better. ( )

Dur, sombre, sans concession. Il y en aurait des mots pour qualifier cette œuvre. Des mots eux aussi sombres et durs, mais qui au fond ne disent rien d’un livre dont il est difficile de parler tant il laisse presque sans voix.
Je suis loin de la banlieue, loin des préoccupations de ce que l’on nomme pudiquement le racisme ordinaire, je n’ai pas eu ces obstacles-là pour me faire une place dans la société. Je n’ai jamais eu ce fardeau à porter, ni non plus celui de la double appartenance culturelle. Autant dire que ce livre est bien loin de mes préoccupations et du cadre de ma vie. Je n’aime pas non plus les livres au langage cru, au vocabulaire explicite. En un mot, je ne suis pas la lectrice de ce type de roman.
Et pourtant… Et pourtant, impossible de me détacher de cette lecture audio. Collée à mon petit poste de radio, incapable de m’en détachée. Prise dans ce flot de paroles, entraînée comme malgré moi. C’est une prose forte, qui donne des coups à chaque page. Des mots qui font mal et, pour la première fois je crois, j’ai commencé à comprendre ce que c’est que cette image que l’on renvoie systématiquement à ceux de certains quartiers, à ceux de certaines couleurs, et comment cela peut effectivement miner. J’ai commencé non peut-être pas à comprendre, mais à mettre des mots sur.
Un très beau texte, tout de violence contenue, tout de colère qui sourd inexorablement, qui polit la pierre sur son passage, qui fragmente les roches à force d’entêtement et de ressassement. Une vie qui bascule sans crier gare, mais une vie qui ne pouvait que basculer, c’était écrit, comment s’en sortir quand personne n’y a jamais cru.

Ich habe es nicht geschafft, "in das Buch hinein zu kommen". Zudem konnte ich im Text keine Geschichte entdecken. Auch die Verbindung des modernen "Emigrantenlebens" mit der traditionellen Denkweise des Grossvaters war für mich nicht nachvollziehbar. ( )

From Vancouver to Brasilia, from the gangsters in New York, Bahia, Lagos, behind the bars at the Fleury-Mérogis prison, on the benches of the amphitheatres at the Sorbonne, for some of the junkies at the central station in Amsterdam, for the AIDS orphans of Mombasa, the commuters pressed and packed into the RER train on line A heading into Paris, for the memories of the deceased watching over Kongo, all the faces of voodoo ceremony participants in Haiti, those buried for centuries below the African continent, beneath the uniforms of ear-cutting Senegalese soldiers, the drug addicts, the fanatics, those stuck in the trenches in the Flanders during the Great War, the bones of those scattered at the bottom fo the Atlantic, the asylum seekers, the EU authorities, for the female vendors in the Brixton market, the jubilation of the sound systems in Jamaica, and especially for those genocided in Rwanda,
...Africa haunts our black skin.
