Calixthe Beyala or blasphemical speech at home

Abstract

ABSTRACTCalixthe Beyala or the Blasphematory Discourse.For Calixthe Beyala, as for most African novelists, the depiction of postcolonial society is inevitably linked to satirical denunciation. Her fiction, which is strikingly subversive, gœs hand in hand with raw blasphemous discourse. Even if this impious temper is not alien to African cultural traditions, Beyala stands out as one of the rare creative writers to systematically exploit it in her works. While it is true that it often attacks the sun God, the Christian God and God the Father, her satire, nevertheless, does not spare deities the world over.
