My Kingdom for a Guitar is a novel based on the remarkable life of
Cameroonian-born writer and musician Francis Bebey. Born in Douala,
Cameroon, Bebey studied in Paris and New York. He found fame when
his first novel, Le Fils d'Agatha Moudio (Agatha Moudio's Son), was
published in 1967, and that fame continued to grow with the release
of his first album in 1969. He would go on to become one of the
best-known singer-songwriters of Africa, whose groundbreaking style
merged Cameroonian makossa with classical guitar, jazz, and pop.
Narrated by Bebey's daughter, Kidi, My Kingdom for a Guitar is a
tribute to her late father and his family. Through a combination of
recollections and fiction, it offers the reader a chance to witness
the admiration of a daughter for her father and the love of a man
for his music.
