The Madman and the Medusa - CARAF Books: Caribbean and African Literature translated from the French
Tchicaya U Tam'Si
The second novel by the Congolese poet, novelist and dramatist is a fascinating and brilliant, but most puzzling, fictional work, filtering African storytelling techniques through some of the most recent technical innovations of French fiction. Magic and old African beliefs are not so much talked about or discussed as they are incorporated into the fiction.
