Is it, as the father of the author believes, to trust the school so that she gets a "beautiful diploma"? Thus she would no longer be Hutu or Tutsi: she would reach the inviolable status of the "evolved". It is precisely to obtain this certificate that the author will be forced to go into exile. It will move from country to country, Burundi, Djibouti and France. Sometimes the chances that this precious paper promised him appear as a certainty, sometimes they vanish like a mirage. As his father told him, this "beautiful diploma" will be the talisman, always source of energy, which will allow him to overcome despair, disillusionment and disappointment. The author returns here to the autobiographical vein, with this fluid style, full of humor and fantasy that makes the story of his memories, however painful, sometimes fascinating.--Translation by Gallimard. 600 10 $a Mukasonga, Scholastique. 600 17 $a Mukasonga, Scholastique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01645611 650 0 $a Women authors, Black $z Rwanda $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women authors, Black $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, African $y 21st century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Rwandans $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $x Social conditions. $z Rwanda $x Social conditions. 650 6 $a EÌcrivains africains $y 21e sieÌcle $v Biographies. 650 7 $a Authors, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821756 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018024301.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AAD5992840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
