Jean et Simon sauront-ils retrouver Roger ? Ce dernier a fui une mère colérique pour courir après un rêve, devenir une star du football. Quitter Douala, passer par le Nigeria pour finir en Europe : cela s'appelle faire le "boza ". Les péripéties de Jean et Simon aux trousses de Roger ont tout du voyage initiatique : ils découvrent le Nord du Cameroun, une région à la nature somptueuse, quoique sinistrée par Boko Haram et la pauvreté, goûtent aux fêtes.Mais le petit Jean se confronte aussi à l'éloignement d'avec la mère et à l'apprentissage d'une identité sexuelle différente. Max Lobe, avec sa gouaille et son humour, excelle à donner la parole à ses personnages, à restituer les atmosphères qui règnent dans la rue, les trains, les commissariats, les marchés ou les bars mal famés.

"Bursting with local color, this hilarious, heart-warming coming-of-age tale follows two friends on a raucous journey across Cameroon as they grapple with grief, sexuality, and dreams of Europe. After their father's death, Jean's older brother Roger decides he's had enough of their mother and their city and leaves to try his luck with "boza"-crossing illegally into Europe-in the hope of becoming a soccer star abroad. Aiming to catch up with Roger before he reaches the Nigerian border, Jean enlists the help of the older Simon, a neighborhood friend, and the two set out on the road. The bus trip north nearly ends in disaster when, at a pit stop, Simon goes wandering in search of grilled caterpillars. At the police station in Yaounde, the local cop tells them that a feckless boza is not worth police effort and their mother should go and pleasure the police chief if she wants help! Through a series of joyful, sparky vignettes, Cameroon life is revealed in all its ups and downs. Issues of life and death are raised, but Max Lobe recounts events with remarkable humor and levity"--
