The novel Machin la Hernie by the Congolese writer Sony Labou Tansi relates the story of the dictator Martillimi Lopez, alias « Machin la Hernie ». Sexual abuses of the sadistic despot kill women because of their extrem violence, so much so that we could find echoes of the Sade's novel Les Cent Vingt Journées de Sodome. However, the two writers don't write sexuality in the same way : the immersion into obscenity is performed by Sade's lapidary sentences, while in Sony's novel, is produced by the hernious phrases. Therefore the syntax stretches and grows, as to grab all humans and things around the dictator. The devouring potentate of the dictator can be understood as an extension of sadism, according to Dany-Robert Dufour who establishes a link between sexual hybris and liberalism theory, based on the desire to relish and possess the world.
