Quand l’écriture romanesque devient jeu chez Mamadou Mahmoud N’dongo

Abstract

The adventure of the African novel is made up of recurring innovations marked regularly by particular aesthetic forms. Which are the fruit of the ingenuity of novelists whose desire is to make something new. From the assimilation novel to the decolonial novel, including the migrant novel, the postcolonial and postmodern novels, one observation is clearly perceived: the need to break away from the existing. From now on, a new novel presents itself to the reader; new in its thematic-formal conception. The writing thus seems liberated, adopting new characteristics which most often confuse. African novelists obviously devote themselves to other fields of investigation going as far as trying the inconceivable. Writing, for the novelist, is therefore nothing more than escape, freedom and individual creation. Mamadou Mahmoud N’Dongo’s novels, which follow this logic, display a new posturein which the transgressive and the subversive are the essential postulate
