Étienne Sawadogo

Étienne Sawadogo, a writer from Upper Volta, had published a novel in the late seventies, before this collection. The reference lists do not agree on his identity: one list has him born in 1944 and also attributes to him a book of poems published in 2014, which is the work of a namesake, Songré Étienne Sawadogo, born in 1965, a diplomat and cultural adviser to UNESCO. No source gives with certainty his dates, his training or his career, and nothing is known of his life beyond his books.
