The Fool’s Tale (1994)

The Fool’s Tale is the last novel by Mongo Beti before the publication of Too Much Sun Kills Love. In this disillusioned yet biting work, Beti outlines the state of postcolonial African governments and their authoritarian deviations.

This novel marks the writer’s return to fiction after a period dedicated to political essays.
