Liwa Ekimakingaï es un joven cocinero que trabaja en el prestigioso hotel Victory Palace de Pointe-Noire.

Sin embargo, su vida da un giro dramático y visionario durante una noche de fiesta en un club de moda, donde conoce a la bella Adeline. Esta obra de Alain Mabanckou es una novela social y política que explora la lucha de clases entrelazando el mundo de los vivos con el de los muertos. A través de una narrativa vibrante, el autor ofrece una mirada profunda a la sociedad congoleña contemporánea, mezclando realismo y elementos fantásticos en una fábula moderna sobre la ambición y el destino.
