Birahima, le narrateur de ce roman, a une douzaine d''années et il retrace son itinéraire d''enfant-soldat de l''Afrique contemporaine, entre le Libéria et la Sierra Leone. Orphelin, jeté sur les routes en compagnie d''un marabout mi-philosophe mi-escroc, Birahima se fait enrôler dans une bande de pillards. Kalachnikov en bandoulière, pour gagner sa solde, il va bientôt participer aux pires exactions : « De camp retranché en ville investie, /.../j''ai tué pas mal de gens. /.../ beaucoup de mes copains enfants-soldats sont morts. Mais Allah n''est pas obligé d''être juste avec toutes les choses qu''il a créées ici-bas. » Après En attendant le vote des bêtes sauvages (Prix du Livre Inter 1999), Ahmadou Kourouma nous livre un récit picaresque et terrifiant sur une époque de massacres dont les enfants sont les tristes héros.Prix Renaudot 2000Prix Goncourt des lycéens 2000Prix Amerigo Vespucci 2000
