Sylvie Kand�'s neo-epic in three cantos is a double narrative combining today's tales of African migration to Europe on the one hand, with the legend of Abubakar II on the other: Abubakar, emperor of 14th-Century Mali, sailed West toward the new world, never to return. Kand�'s language deftly weaves a dialogue between these two narratives and between the epic traditions of the globe.
