Abstract
Winner of several literary distinctions, Tierno Monénembo has not ceased to seduce with the quality of his texts. The author adopts an iconoclastic self-representation style. The romantic nature his texts gives them a fictional background. While his fellow writers favor the first and third person pronouns to fit into their works, he prefers the second person pronoun. The lives of the individuals to whom this pronoun relates resemble, not to be mistaken, to the life of Monénembo himself. That issue makes us think that the Guinean writer uses the “you” to speak of his own being.
