A powerful, unsettling, universal novel about love and identityAs far back as I remember, I was never taught to love. Truth be told, things havent really progressed since.So begins the nameless protagonists journal. An anthropologist from Senegal, thirty-three years of age (half of which spent in France), he doesnt know how to love, or who to be.Various encounters draw him out of self-imposed isolation, but his emotional journey is chaotic and marked by an inability to open up to others. Questions of identity plague him, torn as he is between feeling French or Senegalese, and trapped in a paradoxical work routine that consists of researching an Africa whose codes he no longer understands.By turn cynical, melancholic, tender and euphoric, Black Male is a reflection on racism and de-colonisation, and a vibrant, incisive narrative that takes us right inside the life of an immigrant in search of simple happiness, love, and freedom.
