About Ferdinand Oyono
About Houseboy
Houseboy (originally Une vie de boy) is Ferdinand Oyono's 1956 satirical novel — one of the foundational works of Francophone African literature. The diary of Toundi Ondoua, a young Cameroonian houseboy working for a French colonial Commandant and a Catholic priest, gradually reveals the brutality, hypocrisy, and dehumanization of colonial life. A sharp comic novel that became more devastating with each page.
