She annoyed more than one, that brazen woman with sublime curves, a girl without a father, born of a madwoman, a little witch, who neither seduced nor annoyed. All coveted her as much as they feared her, except perhaps Sese, a clandestine newcomer from Kinshasa who became her friend and partner in a dubious business. High-flying crooks, thick brutes or modest rogues, suspects are not lacking in this twenty-first century metropolis ruled like the others by money, sex and power. And it is not the indefatigable Chergui, violent wind coming from the desert to shake the palms, abrade the walls and dry the tears, which will calm the spirits ... With his sharp lucidity and fierce humor, In Koli Jean Bofane denounces real estate corruption, the precariousness of migrants and male concupiscence. Through his talent as a storyteller, his art of dialogue and portraits, he happily jostles an overwhelming contemporary reality - the truculence of despair.--Actes Sud. 651 0 $a Casablanca (Morocco) $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Morocco $z Casablanca. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210376 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 830 0 $a Domaine français (Arles, France) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122013451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27A0ED7E2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
