The original version in French of this book has the same title African Psycho.

By coincidence, the regional reads in French also selected a book by Congolese writer Alain Mabanckou, Petit Piment, that is also available in English translation as Black Moses.

I'll get to these, but next month. I haven't read anything by this author and am looking forward to them.
