«L'Africain» is the autobiographical account by J. M. G. Le Clézio, published by Gallimard in paperback (124 pages, in French).
The author evokes the feeling of being a stranger on his return from Africa and reconstructs the figure of his father, a doctor posted in Nigeria, whom he barely knew during childhood. From that distance, the text weaves personal memories with a reflection on identity, memory and the traces of colonialism.
The French text of this paperback edition was published on September 15, 2005 in the Folio collection.
For readers of memoirs and French literature, as well as for those who want to approach the work of Nobel Prize winner J. M. G. Le Clézio.
