"De dochter van een vermoorde Kongolese verzetsstrijder beleeft dramatische gebeurtenissen."
""Grandeur et décadence de la Katamalanasie, immense pays d'Afrique noire soumis à la plus sanglante, mais aussi la plus absurde des dictatures. Les morts n'y meurent jamais tout a fait, juste retour des choses puisque les vivants car les vivants n'ont guère le droit d'y vivre. Si le constat de Sony Labou Tansi, pour drôle et réjouissant qu'il soit, peut paraître pessimiste, c'est qu'il décrit, au-delà du continent africain, le monde du prochain siècle : "Au fond, la terre n'est plus ronde. Elle ne le sera jamais plus. La Vie et demie devient cette fable qui voit demain avec des yeux d'aujourd'hui.""
"Listed as one of the 100 best books on Africa, Life and a Half was Sony Labou Tansi's response to the death of close friends during a bloody military and political crackdown in Congo. The novel takes place in an imaginary African country run by the latest in a series of cannibalistic dictators who has captured Martial, the leader of the opposition, and his family."
