Translated by Lillian Corti.
Description
This novel centers on the actions of one man, Mankunku, a "destroyer", who is born in mysterious circumstances in a banana plantation, and whose identity is as mercurial as that of his land. Mythical, lyrical, powerful, surreal, and immensely ambitious, The Fire of Origins does for Africa what One Hundred Years of Solitude did for South America.
