Emerging Perspectives on Aminata Sow Fall
For Amainata Sow Fall writing is subversive because it poses questions that need answers. For her the writer's role is not to moralise, but rather to raise questions to which readers may react. For this reason, characterisation is of great importance in her work, and readers must investigate characters for authorial messages. This concise text explores encounters between the real and the imaginary in Fall's work.
The Empire of Illusion
In Senegal, three modest families share a courtyard. This common space is a small paradise where they meet to cook, dine, talk, evoke memories, and grow together. At one Sunday family gathering, the usual post-meal conversation turns tense when Sada's adolescent son, Dieìry, asks why his father was so friendly with a government official at a televised ribbon-cutting the day before. The conversation quickly devolves into one about respect and duty. In Empire of Illusion, legendary Senegalese novelist Aminata Sow Fall, explores the powerful themes of family, respect, and ethics. What respect does a son owe his father—and vice versa? How does a family maintain a balance of debate and respect? How does a person maintain self-respect when forced to swim in ethically muddy waters? Aminata Sow Fall, the matriarch of Senegalese social-realist fiction delivers yet another trenchant examination of her society, and of the universal challenge of finding, keeping, and giving respect to oneself and others.
Aminata Sow Fall par les textes
L'ouvrage que voici prolonge le livre Aminata Sow Fall romancière : l'écriture en abyme que le Pr. Birahim Thioune a consacré aux fictions romanesques de l'écrivaine sénégalaise. Il associe ainsi, aux préoccupations théoriciennes, des considérations pratiques accompagnées d'observations documentées et finement éclairées par les doctrines et l'histoire littéraires
Aminata Sow Fall
L'oeuvre d'Aminata Sow Fall témoigne, à travers l'adaptation de formes et de stratégies narratives inspirées de la littérature traditionnelle, d'une discursivité orale qui marque la présence de l'univers symbolique africain dans le roman, genre emprunté à l'Occident. Ce travail met en avant les éléments relatifs à la singularité du contexte d'écriture et aux tensions créatrices du langage littéraire dans les romans de cette grande auteure africaine.
