A must read before, during and after the World Cup games in 2010 ! The eleven authors in this collection of short stories are from Africa and from across the globe. Born in Algeria, Morocco, Maurice Island, Djibouti, Congo, Sudan, Senegal, Togo, Nigeria or South Africa and living in Lomé, Los Angeles, Paris, Barcelona or Lagos, one thing unites them all: a passion for football. This monumental sport is the thread of Ariane that links all these stories together, be they innocent, flamboyant, haunted or bizarre, each and every one represents a strong and talented voice. A few of the authors are actual football players, some are amateurs, casual Sunday afternoon players, experts in football-talk. The pleasure of reading accompanies that of playing or of simply watching a good game. Collected and presented by the writer Abdourahman A. Waberi, these stories are as many portraits of the African continent and its people: from children growing up playing football in the dusty streets, to professional players who dream of the great European clubs, not to mention the fanatic supporters.
