3.0

Collection of three short stories from Francophone Africa: I liked Sow's fable from Senegal about society's representatives trapped in a well (all male off course, otherwise they would have gotten out of the well is my bet!). Couao-Zotti's story is a strange stream of consciousness (or just messy?) from a market in Benin - while Waberi's The Fool's Gallery is a reverie in Khat from Djibouti.
