Waiting for the wild beasts to vote
Kourouma, Ahmadou2003
Book
The life story of Koyaga, dictator and President of the Gulf Coast, is told by Bingo, a West African sora - part storyteller, part king's fool. The tale itself - part magic, part history, part satire - is nothing less than a history of post-colonial Africa.
