Felix Faure Street: A Novel: Global Black Writers in Translation

Autor Ken Bugul Traducere de Julie Huntington
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2026
Felix Faure Street opens with a gruesome scene, with two incompetent police officers standing before a bloody and dismembered body found strewn across the sidewalk in a working-class neighborhood in Dakar, Senegal. At the onset of the investigation, the body of the murdered man begins to tell the story of the events leading up to his death, but no one is listening to him. Life on Felix Faure Street goes on, just as it does every day. As the mystery unfolds, community members get involved in the investigation. Guided by supernatural elements that manifest in the form of four elusive veiled figures, they will come face to face with a brutal truth about the horrifically mutilated man and those he has abused.
