Monthly Update 20/09
Greetings, one and all.
Last month Raphael Sone reviewed a new novel by the London (Ontario)-based author Gaston Mabaya. The full text of his review reads as follows.
L’HÔPITAL
Auteur déjà d’une demi-douzaine d’ouvrages généraux et un recueil des poèmes, l’écrivain congolais canadien Gaston Mabaya vient de publier son premier roman, le tome 1 de sa trilogie Bulamatari, auquel il a donné le rusé titre de L’HÔPITAL. Le roman est fascinant à plusieurs niveaux, en commençant par son titre – car plus d’une institution médicale figure dans le récit. À nous de deviner laquelle fait le sujet du titre. L’HÔPITAL est un casse-tête littéraire avec lequel l’auteur nous mène de la côte ouest africaine jusqu’à l’Inde en passant par la Turquie, sans nous permettre de respirer en route. Un véritable “page-turner”. J’ai hâte de lire le tome 2 de la trilogie Bulamatari, un nom dont l’origine est presque aussi intrigante que la fiction de Mabaya.
