A review by arrianne
African Psycho by Alain Mabanckou
4.0
CW: murder, violence against women, sexual violence.
A short one, about an African wannabe murderer who really just isn’t very good at it. Entertaining, funny, but definitely gruesome.
Written entirely from inside the head of the will-he-won’t-he aspiring serial killer, focussing on his obsessive thoughts about his idol. At the peak of his feverish obsession with murder, it becomes a several page run-on sentence and you can feel his urge to do the deed but he’s also like every guy who’s ever boasted about being The Big Man. Stop talking and just get on with it...
