Résumé
This is a personal narrative. My switch from comparative literature to African literature studies seemed a natural one. The same areas I had a passion for in European literature could be found in African literature as well. From the outset, I understood that there was no such thing as “Africanological” literary criticism or literary history. The two branches of literature abided by the same laws and rules. Searching for African idiosyncrasies that would set it apart from European literature would prove fruitless, as there is only one “world” literature.
