Description
Comrade Papa by Gauz explores the interconnected lives of two men across different continents and centuries. In 1880, Dabilly joins a French general in Cote d'Ivoire to establish trading routes, while a century later, a young boy discovers his family history and travels to Cote d'Ivoire to visit his grandmother. The book delves into the history of colonisation in Cote d'Ivoire, tracing the paths that connect these two men and their families. Through GauZ' masterful storytelling, the lives of Dabilly and the young boy become intertwined, revealing the complexities of colonialism and its lasting impact on individuals and communities. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne, Comrade Papa offers a powerful exploration of history, identity, and connection. This book is a thought-provoking portrayal of two men's experiences during a time of great change and upheaval.
