Luckily, he has a mentor to call on, the far more accomplished
serial killer Angoualima. The fact that Angoualima is dead doesn t
prevent Gregoire from holding lengthy conversations with him.
Little by little, Gregoire interweaves Angoualima's life and
criminal exploits with his own.
Continuing with the plan despite a string of botched attempts,
Gregoire's final shot at offing Germaine leads to an abrupt
unraveling. Lauded in France for its fresh and witty style,
African Psycho's inventive use of language surprises and
relieves the reader by injecting humor into this disturbing
subject.
