What the dog saw in Nzeng-Ayong - Collectif auteurs UDEG

What the dog saw in Nzeng-Ayong by the Collective of Authors of the Union of Writers of Gabon

This collection of short stories was born out of a social curiosity. An expression has become popular in Gabon in recent years, which promises an unscrupulous that he will see what the dog saw in Nzeng Ayong. No one will tell you precisely what the dog actually saw in this popular district of Libreville, yet almost all Gabonese know the immanent meaning of this sentence.

The UDEG brought together writing enthusiasts, of various sensibilities and ages, and asked them a single question: What did the Dog see in Nzeng Ayong?

Each of them then comes to whisper to you a crisp, amazing, current and dynamic story. Each short story is a journey that challenges us, questions us, refers us to our identifiers and our socio-cultural imagination. Each of them draws the furtive face of this dog that no one can grasp, but which, nevertheless, trotts deep inside us like the mirror of our impulses, our passions, our despair, but also our hopes.

You will now know what the Dog saw in Nzeng Ayong.
