About Samassi

Samassi, a young man from one of the French-speaking African countries, secures a scholarship to study in London. Midway through his English language course his scholarship is withdrawn, forcing him to take up jobs to support himself. He graduates and eventually secures a good job -- after several futile attempts. the more he climbs the corporate ladder, the more he feels out of place. Convinced that his rightful place is in Africa, Samassi returns to live in neighbouring Senegal only to find himself in deep trouble, accused of murder, just a few months after his return. a fragmented and disjointed narrative style to capture the cadences of modern life in London, as seen by Africans.
