Bound to Violence

In this new edition, professor and award-winning documentary filmmaker Cherif Keita provides invaluable context for the novel, whose publication in the West was mired by accusations of plagiarism fraught with racist undertones. What emerges is a thrillingly excessive, defiant novel that paints a universally relevant portrait of sex, violence and power in human relationships.<>
