Abstract
On his first day back in Africa, Omar had flown from Paris, taken a taxi to Tillaberi, reunited with his dysfunctional family, begun the slow process of adjusting to a different climate and diet, met the beautiful Fati, his cousin and uncle’s widow, and rode out into the bush where he and his brother Abdoulaye found and destroyed a destructive charm. The events produced in Omar an unexpected surge of energy.
