Emmanuel Dongala is an African novelist of outstanding ability. In The Fire Of Origins, we are introduced to Mankunku, born of mysterious circumstances on a banana plantation, we follow his personal saga in an unnamed African country from its pre-colonial era through the horrors of European subjugation, to independence and all the complexities and contradictions, ideals and disillusionments of post-colonial self-rule. The Fire Of Origins is peppered with memorable characters ranging from charlatans and saints, to workers and bureaucrats, to warriors and peacemakers. The Fire Of Origins is rewarding, engaging, highly recommended reading by a truly gifted author which will leave the reader eagerly looking forward to more of his work in the future.
