#Camara Laye

[sivavakkiyar]

from Toni Morrison’s introduction to Camara Laye’s The Radiance Of The King

[lionofchaeronea]

Current reading is The Radiance of the King by Camara Laye. First published in French in 1954, it's a fascinating novel that deconstructs African colonialism (Laye was from what is now Guinea) through complex layers of allegory, symbolism, and magical realism. There are points of contact with other great 20th century novels--Kafka's The Trial, most notably--but at the same time, it's something uniquely African and uniquely itself. Definitely worth a read.

(Incidentally: Laye was all of 26 when he published this novel. ...And now I'm going to go huddle in the corner and weep over what I've failed to accomplish in my life.)

[thesimplyone]

"Ces leçons (...) se résumait à la ligne de conduite qu'un homme doit tenir dans la vie: être franc absolument, acquérir les vertus qui en toutes circonstances font l'honnête homme, remplir nos devoirs envers Dieu, envers nos parents, envers les notables, envers le prochain."

::: Camara Laye

Du 13 au 15 mai 2023, s’organisera un colloque international à l’Université Général Lansana Conté de Sonfonia-Conakry, sous le thème « La littérature guinéenne, 70 ans après la publication de L’Enfant Noir : bilan et perspectives critiques ».

Global Reading Challenge: 113/200

A personal reading project, where I endeavour to read a book from each of the 193 United Nations member states plus 7 extra* ones. My main goal is to have fun and to learn, but I do have rules for myself:

The book should be fiction, and preferably a novel. I allow plays and poetry, but non-fiction only as the very last resort

The author should have the nationality of their country. If they have lived a good portion of their life there and genuinely represent the local culture, then it's ok if they've been born somewhere else

I want to read books that represent the local literary tradition. Preferably a "classic", a book that illustrates the local culture, or a book that is famous within the country. I avoid popular and contemporary fiction, and books that play outside of the country.

*Extra states have been determined based on UNESCO membership and personal interest where I want to read more books from. This is not a political statement.

America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in The Origin of Others. In her search for answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors she examines. Readers of Morrison's fiction will welcome her discussions of some of her most celebrated books--Beloved, Paradise, and A Mercy. If we learn racism by example, then literature plays an important part in the history of race in America, both negatively and positively. Morrison writes about nineteenth-century literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature employs skin color to reveal character or drive narrative. Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Morrison's most personal work of nonfiction to date.

Raybearer

Author: Jordan Ifueko 

368 pages, published 2020 - Part of a series

Original language: English

Native author? N/A

Age: Teen?

Blurb:

Nothing is more important than loyalty. But what if you've sworn to protect the one you were born to destroy?

 Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince's Council of 11. If she's picked, she'll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere.

 But The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is compelled to obey: Kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust. Tarisai won't stand by and become someone's pawn--but is she strong enough to choose a different path for herself? With extraordinary world-building and breathtaking prose, Raybearer is the story of loyalty, fate, and the lengths we're willing to go for the ones we love.

My thoughts:

A West-African-inspired fantasy world, not related specifically to Guinea. But looks like a great book nonetheless.

The only Guinea book I could find is the memoir The Dark Child by Camara Laye

To All Translators and Publishers, We Appreciate You Today.

Let us go back memory lane. Are you ready?

Do you know the book 'African Child' written by Camara Laye?

It was one of the books in the African Writers Series.

We are very sure you know the book. You may have read it in secondary school.

You may not have known that the book was originally written in French as an autobiographical novel with the title, L'Enfant noir (The Dark Child in English) and published in New York by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

The interesting part is that as at when we read the book, we never knew that it was first written in French even though we knew that the author, Camara Laye was Guinean and the official language of Guinea is French.

As Anglophone citizens, we read and digested the book in English. We were unaware of the fact that some day we will be reading, writing, speaking and translating from French to other languages and vice versa.

We had to give this backstory through memory lane because today, 23rd April, 2024 is World Book and Copyright Day and the theme for 2024 is “Reading Our Way”.

We wouldn’t have read our way into Camara Laye’s book without #translators and #publishers who translated the book from French to English.

Offering translation and other language services, École de Langue Française d'Afrique salutes the efforts and industry of:

1. James Kirkup, and

2. Ernest Jones .

They translated Camara Laye’s book from French to English and published it in the United States by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1954 as The Dark Child. In the United Kingdom, this translation was published under the title The African Child in 1959.

Like James Kirkup and Ernest Jones, École de Langue Française d'Afrique is here to make reading and learning in other languages worthwhile for you.

We join all book lovers around the world in general and the translators of the African Child, in particular, and in this appreciation post to mark 2024 World Book and Copyright Day.

Happy Birthday, Toni Morrison. Thank you for showing us how to Love ourselves fully, writing Black stories with nuanced and complex characters, despite “the gaze”. Below is an excerpt I read @wheelercentre’s 2019 showcase, “The Year That Was”. Deeply honoured to speak of the impact Morrison’s work (as an editor and a writer) had on my own praxis as a writer & @papoets curator. . . “At that time African literature was not a subject to be taught in American schools. Even in so-called world literature courses it had no reputation and no presence. But I was determined to funnel the delight, the significance, and the power of that literature into my work as an editor. The publication of Contemporary African Literature in 1972 was the beginning of my love affair. But the more profound and more personal consequence was the impact Chinua Achebe’s novels had on my own beginnings as a writer. I had read his essay in Transition, on the struggle with definitions of African literature, and knew its ramifications for African American writers. In that essay, Achebe quoted James Baldwin’s comments on the subject of language choice and manipulation in defining national and cultural literatures and its resonance with marginalized writers. “My quarrel,” said Baldwin, “with the English language has been that the language reflected none of my experience….Perhaps…I had never attempted to use it, had only learned to imitate it. If this were so, then it might be made to bear the burden of my experience if I could find the stamina to challenge it, and me, to such a test.” But theorizing a definition is one thing. Executing a theory is another. Achebe’s “answer,”so to speak, was in his work. He (along with Camara Laye, Bessie Head, and others) constituted a complete education for me. Learning how to disassemble the gaze that I was wrestling with (the habitual but self-conscious writing toward a nonblack reader that threatened and coated much African American literature); discovering how to eliminate, to manipulate the Eurocentric eye in order to stretch and plumb my own imagination; I attribute these learned lessons to Chinua Achebe.” Excerpted from “The Source Of Self-Regard (2019) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0i4dVhVHi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
