Amadou Koné, Ivorian writer : study of Les frasques d'Ebinto

Amadou Koné, an Ivorian writer of the 1970s generation, has written a novel about youth in the grip of the new problems of his time. While his colleagues are concerned with denouncing the abuse of power in all its forms, Amadou Koné addresses the problems of independent youth, a youth with overflowing dreams that lack realism. Ebinto, Monique and Muriel are the symbol of this youth who vacillate between dream and reality. It is not forbidden to dream or to have ambitions. But a positive reverie tinged with realism would avoid toppling over into tragic drama in the face of sudden reality: the consequences would then be irreparable. Ebinto finds himself in this situation.
