Description
Constructed as an investigation, with extraordinary lucidity, Boubacar Boris Diop's novel sheds light on the ultimate genocide of the 20th century. Before, during and after, his characters cross paths and tell their stories. Jessica, the miracle survivor who knows and answers from the depths of her commitment as a resistance fighter; Faustin Gasana, a member of the Hutu Power militia; the luminous Siméon Habineza and his brother, Doctor Karekezi; Colonel Perrin, an officer in the French army; and finally Cornelius, who, upon returning to Rwanda after many years of exile, delves into the roots of a personal story tragically linked to that of his people. A novelist and essayist, Boubacar Boris Diop was born in Dakar in 1946. After working for several Senegalese newspapers, he continued to collaborate on foreign press titles. The author residency "Rwanda: writing as a duty to remember" allowed him to take the full measure of the genocide. Born from this experience, Murambi, the book of bones has been translated into several languages.
