A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali


“With this exceptional work, painful for the spirit, oppressive for the species, you have penetrated into the world of the dead, sharing the funeral march of a white man who loves a black woman in the heart of a blood-red Africa. [...] To enter into this book is to gain access to a universe where the sun no longer rises.”
Jean-Paul Dubois, Le Nouvel Observateur
