«El africano» is the autobiographical account by J.M.G. Le Clézio, published by Adriana Hidalgo Editora in paperback (135 pages, in Spanish).
Le Clézio reconstructs his African childhood and his relationship with a father he barely knew. Back in France, where he felt like a foreigner, he invented a past and even imagined that his mother was Black; later he discovered that the African was his father. Accepting that truth forced him to revisit his family history and reconcile with his identity.
The work was originally published as L'Africain in 2004; this Spanish edition, translated by Juana Bignozzi, is part of the Narrativas collection.
For readers of memoirs and of the work of Nobel Prize in Literature winner J.M.G. Le Clézio.
