In 'Clowns and Monsters,' Albert Sánchez Piñol presents us with the story of Idi Amin Dada, Bokassa, Banda, Mobutu Sese Seko, Sékou Touré, Haile Selassie, Macías, and Obiang. These African dictators, often ignorant and insignificant, believed themselves to be gods and masters of their peoples. The author shows us how these men presented themselves to the world as exceptional beings, bestowing upon themselves bombastic titles and carrying out extravagant acts. Through their stories, Sánchez Piñol explores the fine line between extravagance and horror, revealing the true nature of these clowns and monsters who marked the history of Africa.
Albert Sánchez Piñol is a Spanish anthropologist, non-fiction writer and novelist writing in Catalan and Spanish.
