The Heart Of The Leopard Children (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
The author of four novels published by Actes Sud, one of France’s most prestigious publishers, Le cœur des enfants léopards (The Heart of the Leopard Children, 2007), Le Silence des esprits (The Silence of the Spirits, 2010), Fleur de Béton (Flower in Concrete, 2012), and Berlinoise (2014), he has received considerable critical attention and been recognized with important literary awards, most notably the Prix des Cinq Continents de la Francophonie and the Prix Senghor de la création littéraire. N’Sondé also publishes short stories and essays, his work has been adapted for the stage, and he has established a reputation in Berlin, where he moved in 1989 after the fall of the Berlin Wall and shortly before German reunification, as a pioneering musician and performer of afro-punk, rock trash, slam, and spoken-word. N’Sondé is considered one of the shining lights of African, Afropean, and French writing. However, he is a writer who both exceeds and resists categorization, questioning the pertinence and even the validity of such mechanisms and in so doing, complicating attempts at circumscribing his work.
