Description
The Road of Clamors"Nématou and Kany ended up opting for my mother, by agreeing, despite my dad's opposition, to wear veils distributed by the boy imam of the new mosque in our neighborhood. As for me, I stayed on my dad's side. Because I knew that he was the one who would end up alone against everyone. And no one has ever won alone against everyone." In a small town in Mali, a young boy sees his life turned upside down the day an armed militia seizes power and imposes a radical Islam. But his father, a painter with a devastating sense of humor, stands up to the oppressor, refusing violence and intolerance with contempt for his own life. "Gripping. Ousmane Diarra's formidable novel echoes the noise and fury that have invaded the lives of his compatriots." Valérie Marin La Meslée, Le Point
