I no longer remember exactly how the connection between the two novels came to my mind: Georges Conchon's L'état sauvage (The savage state), winner of the Goncourt prize in 1964, and Sony Labou Tansi's L'état honteux (The shameful state), published seventeen years later, in 1981. Was it the parallelism between the two titles and the two "states": that of "savagery" and that of "shame"? What is certain is that the associative links could occur only from the moment when I discovered the Congolese author's novel, which I perceived, vaguely, as a "response" to that of his French peer. Not in the sense of any influence one on the other, nor even of an imitation, continuation, or other technique in the style of plagiarism or aping
