Ahmadou Kourouma's award winning novel, The Suns of Independence is one of the great classics of Francophone African literature, capturing the dreams and struggles of a newly independent nation. Fama is the last of an ancient line of Dumbuya princes who, before the Europeans came, reigned undisputed over the Malinke tribe. Yet even after independence, Fama is forced to beg for his place amongst the bureaucratic elite. Meanwhile, his wife, Salimata, is desperately attempting to save the Dumbuya legacy from extinction. Beyond the gripping political intrigue, Ahmadou Kourouma weaves together an in-depth tapestry of Malinke culture, blending the everyday experience of 1960s postcolonial life with age-old myths and traditions. 'Perhaps the most remarkable African novelist writing in French.' Guardian

ALLAH IS NOT OBLIGED TO BE FAIR ABOUT ALL THE THINGS HE DOES HERE ON EARTH.These are the words of the boy soldier Birahima in the final masterpiece by one of Africa’s most celebrated writers, Ahmadou Kourouma. When ten-year-old Birahima's mother dies, he leaves his native village in the Ivory Coast, accompanied by the sorcerer and cook Yacouba, to search for his aunt Mahan. Crossing the border into Liberia, they are seized by rebels and forced into military service. Birahima is given a Kalashnikov, minimal rations of food, a small supply of dope and a tiny wage. Fighting in a chaotic civil war alongside many other boys, Birahima sees death, torture, dismemberment and madness but somehow manages to retain his own sanity. Raw and unforgettable, despairing yet filled with laughter, Allah Is Not Obliged reveals the ways in which children's innocence and youth are compromised by war.

Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2011 in the subject French - Literature, Works, grade: -, LMU Munich (Fakultaet fuer Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaften), course: French - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, language: English, abstract: This approach may at first sight appear like a linguistic revolt or rebellion since it distorts and massacres the French vocabulary and grammar. The goal of Ahmadou Kourouma and his colleagues is to prove that the French language cannot open up the African Weltanschauung (World view). The truth is simply that the structure of the French language fails to describe and express the African thought. This is exactly what the Canadians, the Swiss and the Belgians observed that made them invent Canadian French, Swiss French, and Belgian French. Elsewhere in European Studies I have advocated this intercultural dialogue in German Studies (Germanistik and Interkulturelle Germanistik) as a way out in the poor performance of the dissemination of German language, literature and culture. Even in English, we have the Queens English, the American English and the African pidgin English. Africans can as well have African French. Each writer faced with the realities of myriads of African misery: Colonialism, slavery, neo - colonialism, civil and religious wars, cannot afford the luxury of l'Art pour l'Art. Ahmadou Kourouma has to use the French language to mobilize his people for a way forward. He needed to bear a genuine testimony to the situation of his people, but he could not achieve this mobilization of his uneducated people adequately faced with the dilemma of using a foreign language.

Ahmadou Kourouma's remarkable novel is narrated by Bingo, a West African sora - storyteller and king's fool. Over the course of five nights he tells the life story of Koyaga, President and Dictator of the Gulf Coast. Orphaned at the age of seven, Koyaga grows up to be a terrible hunter; he fights mythical beasts, and is a shape-shifter, capable of changing himself into beasts and birds. He fights in the French colonial armies, in Vietnam and Algeria, but on his return he mounts a coup and becomes ruler and dictator of the Gulf Coast. For thirty years he runs a corrupt but 'clean' state, surviving repeated assassination attempts and gaining support and investment from abroad. But when the 'First World' decides it no longer want to support dictatorships and call for democracy, he needs another ruse to maintain himself in power... Part magic, part history, part savage satire, Waiting for the Wild Beasts to Vote is nothing less than a history of post-colonial Africa itself.

Ce livre voudrait contribuer à faire lire et aimer l'oeuvre passionnante de Ahmadou Kourouma qui plonge son lecteur au coeur de l'Afrique et lui révèle un autre côté de sa propre histoire. Profondément enracinée dans les traditions de la Côte d' Ivoire et du Sahel, et pourtant critique et subversive, l'écriture de Kourouma fait de la langue française un usage libre et surprenant, la pliant aux rythmes, aux images et aux saveurs d'une langue africaine. Ce noble " guerrier " Malinké, mathématicien de formation, en écrivant sans préjugés ni conformisme, a choisi de se faire griot moderne pour ériger un inoubliable lieu de mémoire africain.

Il est devenu, au fil du temps et bien malgré lui, la figure tutélaire de la nouvelle littérature africaine. Aujourd'hui, sept ans après sa disparition, Ahmadou Kourouma est l'un des auteurs francophones les plus étudiés dans les universités américaines, africaines et européennes. Son génie iconoclaste comme sa trajectoire atypique d'actuaire devenu patron d'assurances continuent d'entretenir l'énigme de son écriture. " Il fallait juste un prétexte pour laisser son imaginaire débridé s'extraire du puits sans fond de sa propre histoire. Il le trouva un jour de Janvier 1963 à Abidjan, quand ce "roublard" d'Houphouét-Boigny embastilla quelques intellectuels ferrailleurs pour leur apprendre à vivre. Il en était. Dès lors, Kourouma n'eut de cesse de tromper son monde. Calibré à la perfection pour raisonner le jour dans des institutions productrices de chiffres et de statistiques, il laissa, la nuit, filer une fulgurance poétique dans de petits carnets secrets, puis dans des cahiers à spirale, pour se métamorphoser à l'heure dite en magicien des mots, en rhéteur subtil d'une langue en création. " Dans ce premier récit biographique qui lui est consacré, jean-Michel Djian nous livre un portrait informé et saisissant de l'auteur légendaire des Soleils des Indépendances. Couronnée par de nombreux prix, parmi lesquels le Renaudot en 2000 pour Allah n'est pas obligé, l'ouvre foisonnante de cet aristocrate malinké au rire fulgurant en fait assurément l'un de ceux qui surent le mieux exprimer, jusqu'à son paroxysme, " une souffrance africaine qui jusque-là n'avait jamais atteint la conscience alambiquée des Européens. Pas plus que celle des Africains ".
