Finalist for the Man Booker International Prize 2015 Gregoire
Nakobomayo, a petty criminal, has decided to kill his girlfriend
Germaine. He's planned the crime for some time, but still, the act
of murder requires a bit of psychological and logistical
preparation. Luckily, he has a mentor to call on, the far more
accomplished serial killer Angoualima. The fact that Angoualima is
dead doesn't prevent Gregoire from holding lengthy conversations
with him. Little by little, Gregoire interweaves Angoualima's life
and criminal exploits with his own. Continuing with the plan
despite a string of botched attempts, Gregoire's final shot at
offing Germaine leads to an abrupt unravelling. Lauded in France
for its fresh and witty style, African Psycho's inventive use of
language surprises and relieves the reader by sending up this
disturbing subject.
