Bound to Violence

A Novel

by Yambo Ouologuem Edited by Chérif Keïta Translated by Ralph Manheim

Bound to Violence, a first novel, is a great one…It deserves many readings…Most amazing about this novel is that, with its deathless characters who slip easily through the centuries and who deal in the extra‐natural and supernatural, its bone‐chilling black satire, it is like the works of Ishmael Reed and William Melvin Kelley’s last novel.” —New York Times Book Review

“Conveys, through Ralph Manheim’s translation, a startling energy of language.” —The New Yorker

“A sweeping portrait of African history with plenty of sex and violence…hailed as a masterpiece…Ouologuem was a fascinating, multifaceted character and a gifted author whose book…marked a turning point for French-language literature from the African continent.” —New Lines Magazine
