Patrice Nganang: Scale Boy, Gebunden

Klappentext

An extraordinary chronicle of youth that evokes the paradoxes of modern Africa-complex, contradictory, and full of conflict, tragedy, and joy.
Patrice Nganang, the acclaimed author of Dog Days , Mount Pleasant , and, most recently, A Trail of Crab Tracks , which was a 2022 New Yorker Book of the Year, writes about his vibrant, animated youth in Cameroon, a period of upheaval and change in the country's history and in his life.

Scale Boy is a memoir that brings great brightness and joy to the tumultuous years of discovering oneself and one's community; though there are moments of danger and confusion in his story, Nganang aims to present a new vision of a young Black African man's coming-of-age.
