Houseboy By Ferdinand Oyono



Why do you think that the novel is full obscenities? Ironically it is the priests, Father  Gilbert and Vandermayer who are described by Toundi to speak obscenities, in their sermons and also dreams. Why is Toundi's Diary full of obscenities and sexual innuendo? Post your thoughts in no less than 100 words, with reference to at least one quotation from the novel.
