lang: eng lang: fre lang: [13], 79 p. : chiefly col. ill Summary: A harrowing tale of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda, as seen through the eyes of a boy named Deogratias. He is an ordinary teenager, in love with a girl named Benina, but Deogratias is a Hutu and Benina is a Tutsi who dies in the genocide, and Deogratias himself plays a part in her death. As the story circles around but never depicts the terror and brutality of an entire country descending into violence, we watch Deogratias in his pursuit of Benina, and we see his grief and descent into madness following her death, as he comes to believe he is a dog Translated from the French
