Wikipedia description:
Alexandre Biyidi Awala (30 June 1932 – 8 October 2001), known as Mongo Beti or Eza Boto, was a Cameroonian author and polemicist. Beti has been called one of the most perceptive French-African writers in his presentations of African life. The Guardian has noted that "Beti must be counted as one of the foremost African writers of the independence generation." Beti spent much of his life in France, studying at the Sorbonne and becoming a professor at Lycée Pierre Corneille.
