The Grand prix du premier roman, awarded by the Société des gens de lettres, has Tram 83 on the shortlist for the Wepler-Fondation La Poste prize. This debut novel takes the reader on an incredible journey into the language and energy of a reinvented country.
Tram 83 is set in a bustling African megacity, the Ville-Pays, which is cut off from the Hinterland by a civil war. At the heart of this chaotic city stands the Tram 83, a place of excess that serves as a bar, nightclub, brothel, concert hall, and political forum - a melting pot where all of the city's denizens congregate for raucous nights.
The protagonist, Lucien, has just arrived from the Hinterland to reunite with his old friend Requiem and escape the various political police. As an intellectual and history professor in a country without a past, Lucien finds himself constantly embroiled in the tumultuous happenings of the Tram 83, where he is pushed to the limits of his comfort zone, from being trapped in diamond mines to being "cooked" by a music-loving cop.
Meanwhile, Requiem, a cunning schemer, and Ferdinand Malingeau, a publisher with a taste for fresh flesh, vie for control over the crowds that frequent the Tram 83. In this Ville-Pays, the only thing that matters is reigning over the Tram 83 and winning the favor of its unruly and deceitful people, always ready for an uprising.
Tram 83 is a profoundly poetic and tense debut novel, a hallucinatory and humorous tidal wave where every sentence pulses with a fierce desire to live. It is a vivid and immersive experience, inviting the reader to step into a world that is both familiar and utterly reinvented.
