Here is a traveler who took a one-way ticket for melancholy. A traveler who turns the pages of his country and his first story entitled You made me the one who spans the world. A melancholy traveler adept in the philosophy of feelings, who makes us feel his anger at Lambarene, his shame and his loneliness in Libreville, with a writing that destroys the boundaries between the rain of Port-Gentil and that of Paris.
In the bundle of Steve Wilfrid Mounguengui, from his native Gabon, there has always been a taste of Europe. But also an inconsolable tenderness for the holed childhood left in the country, with on its arm the strength of the world drawn from Literature. With Stève Wilfrid Mounguengui, it is the story of a new generation of writers from sub-Saharan Africa who dream less of being an autocratic president than of a Baudelairean poet.
