About
The Buttologist is on his uppers. His girlfriend has cleared out of their Paris studio and run off to the Congo with a vertically challenged drummer, taking their daughter with her. A racist neighbour is spying on him and stirring up trouble. But at least he knows he still has style. Alain Mabanckou is a writer of novels, plays and poetry. He teaches French literature at UCLA in California. 'Africa's Samuel Beckett... Mabanckou's freewheeling prose marries classical French elegance with Paris slag and a Congolese beat'
