Abstract
We'll be talking about writing about oneself at the heart of a global vision of a country or continent - as A. Mabanckou has been doing for several books now, including Demain j'aurai vingt ans, Lumières de Pointe-Noire and Petit Piment. How can we highlight a life story at the heart of the collective history of a country or continent? What are we talking about? Our own interiority or the continent? Can we write about a continent?
