Brutti e cattivi, feroci e crudeli, i dittatori che popolano i romanzi africani ricordano i tiranni del teatro greco. Ma gli esseri ieratici dell'Antichità classica si sono trasformati in impulsivi e patetici fantocci, protagonisti in una realtà straniata, della quale scandiscono le vicende con una brutalità dissennata. Gli scrittori ne hanno fatto i prototipi di una narrativa che, abbandonato definitivamente l'esempio occidentale, si serve delle parole ("mots") per raccontare i mali ("maux") dell'universo post-coloniale, abitato da contraddizioni dolorose e fatali, che nessun discorso ideologico può risolvere. Anche la parola dei dittatori si è irrimediabilmente sfaldata, resa inconsistente dalle ossessioni e dalle patologie che li affliggono. Attraverso il filtro arguto del narratore, il racconto delle loro gesta trasforma sconforto e miseria in una caustica ilarità che lascia intravedere un mondo ben più reale e non poi così lontano dai confini del romanzo.
