- Title
Introduction to Dossier Kourouma.
- Authors
Ouédraogo, Jean
- Abstract
The article discusses the writings of Ahmadou Kourouma. The author notes that Kourouma based one of his characters on the late president of Cote d'Ivoire, Félix Houphouët. In the author's opinion, despite critics' assertions that Kourouma's writing contains commentary on African politics during the colonial and decolonization eras, Kourouma reminds his readers that his work is fiction.
