Sinopsis

This novel,a classic of African literature, still speaks to us today.áWe look back at Africa&rsquo,s grotesques like Idi Amin of Uganda, Bokassa of the CentraláAfrican Empire or Zaire&rsquo,s Mobutu, but now we must also look around us at comicáopera heads of state posturing extravagantly on our domestic stages. We need thisácleansing laughter.&ldquo,Is the funny bone a literary erogenous zone? Anyone who thinks so willácertainly be turned on by Henri Lopes&rsquo, The Laughing Cry . . . this writeráhas the same feel for the literary burlesque that Woody Allen has for theáphilosophical kvetch.&rdquo, &mdash,San Francisco Examinerá
