Summary

Armand Patrick Gbaka-Brédé: The Pillar Man

The French writer from the Ivory Coast, Armand Patrick Gbaka-Brédé, better known by his stage name Gauz, is a great storyteller who, in the manner of the best novelists, does not hesitate to go into the darkest corners of human consciousness to gather material for his story. The darkest corners of consciousness in this book have a counterpart in the dark alleys of Paris, where the dramatic battle for survival of thousands and thousands of emigrants from all over the world takes place: Chinese, Africans, Arabs, Balkans, Russians, Vietnamese... With an unassailable sense of irony, Gauz treads over all racial, national, religious and other imaginable prejudices and shows Western civilization in its very heart, the capital of republicanism, through the eyes of one—the protector. In the novel, we follow several generations of West African emigrants who cruise through Paris, indulging in the fascination of the abundance of lifestyles that coexist in the metropolis, while at the same time trying to locate their lives in a new civilizational context. Through them and their jobs as security guards and night watchmen, we see the weight of the existential struggle, as well as the immigrant imaginary, which allows us to let the Pillar Man, an otherwise invisible guardian of order, become our interpreter, translator, philosopher and—friend.
