As She Was Discovering Tigony
Dorcas Keurléonan-Moricet is a brilliant white geophysicist posted on assignment in Africa. She falls in love with a young African man, Ségué n’Di, and enters into an extramarital affair with him. In her professional work, she discovers deposits of minerals of inestimable worth. Reading the current age of globalization and neoliberalism as one in which the riches of Africa are again being cynically exploited by multinational companies—including her own—Keurléonan-Moricet’s views and her life gradually change. As the popular resistance against the dictatorial regime in power grows, she comes to play a key role in the unfolding political drama.

"As for what is happening with our country, a number of unspeakable things that are happening, with many secret plots, teeming together, personal ambitions, small minded worms called advisers, consultants, experts, representatives,: all came from elsewhere, controlled from afar, and do not help us! They are the ones who are managing our affairs because our children have trusted those who so not speak any of our languages."
"I will sign a confidential report stressing that no nation of our beautiful west should come to the aid of niggers despite the wealth so much vaunted of their grounds."
"Life must get the upper hand and go on."
"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it."
