AbstractIn his relation to exile, Tierno Monénembo refers constantly to his experiences at the time he fled the dictatorship of his country and began a journey that appears to have no end. For him, exile is a place that leads the writer, like his characters, to reflect upon the issue of identity, therefore inviting him to challenge the void and begin a better search for a refuge, and for models with whom to identify and who can save him from the gaps of memory and history. Accordingly, writing becomes a game of self-invention, allowing the Franco-Guinean novelist to invest his various protagonists with his own exile-related anxieties, which determine a quest for identity based on the form of the wandering and the undecidable.
