Description
Back cover - I was only thinking about myself, and then, as I wrote, I realized that I was painting a portrait of my native Upper Guinea."
Beyond the autobiographical account of a young 25-year-old writer, The Black Child recreates for us, in all its truth, the daily life, traditions, and customs of an entire people. A book full of finesse and talent that has established itself as one of the classics of our time.
The Black Child is Camara Laye's first novel, published in Paris in 1953. Considered "one of the founding texts of contemporary African literature," this largely autobiographical work received the 1954 Charles Veillon Prize and inspired a 1995 film of the same name, directed by Laurent Chevallier.
