Houseboy by Ferdinand Oyono

5.0

I picked this little book up at a used bookstore, took a quick look at Goodreads, and took it home for $3. It was a good decision. It’s an important story, concise and effective. It’s the story of a houseboy who doesn’t play the “game” as well as he could because he’s still a decent human, unlike those in control.
