Jacqueline Fatima Bocoum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacqueline Fatima Bocoum is a writer from Senegal, writing in French. Her father was a bureaucrat under President Senghor. Jacqueline lays a critical eye on her father's administrative position as one typical product of the political structure prevalent during those times, in the foreword of her first novel. She however has an undeniable admiration for him. Her mother is the quiet, calm and thoughtful mother entirely devoted to her family, away from the spotlights and the bustle of public life.
