Sinopse

Sylvie Kandé's neo-epic in three cantos is a double narrative combining today's tales of African migration to Europe on the one hand, with the legend of Abubakar II on the other: Abubakar, emperor of 14th-Century Mali, sailed West toward the new world, never to return. Kandé's language deftly weaves a dialogue between these two narratives and between the epic traditions of the globe. Dazzling in its scope, the poem swings between epic stylization, griot storytelling, and colloquial banter, capturing an astonishing range of human experience. Kandé makes of the migrant a new hero, a future hero whose destiny has not yet taken shape, whose stories are still waiting to be told in their fullness and grandeur: the neverending quest has only just begun. Country folk who made themselves belated marinerstheir bodies cadence themto cleave with the oar's tainted tipthe purple mounds of the great salt savannahwhich no furrow markswhere no seed takes root (But to say the seaearthly words are little suited)At the point of the dreamthey were a myriadno less and no moreto cross the coral barrier in laughter with its vermilion flowers:there remain but three barks adriftfull so full to the point of capsizing

    Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
