Sonz Labou Tansi Knihy
5. júl 1947 – 14. jún 1995
Sony Lab'ou Tansi, ktorého diela sú často považované za kľúčové pre „nové africké písanie“, bol plodným autorom z Konga. Jeho písanie je známe svojou medzinárodnou rezonanciou a inovatívnym prístupom. Tansi sa vo svojej tvorbe zaoberal komplexnými témami a jeho literárny odkaz naďalej inšpiruje. Jeho divadelná spoločnosť v Brazzaville odráža jeho oddanosť umeniu a rozprávaniu.
When a student falsely claims in a suicide note that she was pregnant with his child, Dadou, a teacher, finds his life gradually ruined.

Set in a fictitious African nation, this novel by the distinguished writer Sony Labou Tansi takes aim at the corruption, degeneracy, violence, and repression of political life in Africa. At the heart of The Shameful State is the story of Colonel Martillimi Lopez, the nation's president, whose eccentricity and whims epitomize the "shameful situation in which humanity has elected to live." Lopez stages a series of grotesque and barbaric events while his nation falls apart. Unable to resist the dictator's will, his desperate citizens are left with nothing but humiliation. The evocation of this deranged world is a showcase for the linguistic and stylistic inventiveness that are the hallmark of Sony Labou Tansi's work. This first English translation by Dominic Thomas includes a foreword by Congolese writer Alain Mabanckou that contextualizes the novel's importance in literary history and the significance of Sony Labou Tansi for future generations of writers.

La vie et demie

Grandeur et décadence de la Katamalanasie, immense pays d'Afrique noire soumis à la plus sanglante, mais aussi la plus absurde des dictatures. Les morts n'y meurent jamais tout à fait, juste retour des choses puisque les vivants n'ont guère le droit d'y vivre. Si le constat de Sony Labou Tansi, pour drôle et réjouissant qu'il soit, peut paraître pessimiste, c'est qu'il décrit, au-delà du continent africain, le monde du prochain siècle : "Au fond, la terre n'est plus ronde. Elle ne le sera jamais plus. La Vie et demie devient cette fable qui voit demain avec des yeux d'aujourd'hui."
