Aya Life in Yop City Author:Marguerite Abouet, Clement Oubrerie, Helge Dascher (Translator) Ivory Coast, 1978. It's a golden time, and the nation, too-an oasis of affluence and stability in West Africa -- seems fueled by something wondrous. Aya is loosely based upon Marguerite Abouet's youth in Yop City. It is the story of the studious and clear-sighted nineteen-year-old Aya, her easygoing friends Adjoua a... more »nd Bintou, and their meddling relatives and neighbors. It's a wryly funny, breezy account of the simple pleasures and private troubles of everyday life in Yop City.
Clément Oubrerie's warm colors and energetic, playful line connect expressively with Marguerite Abouet's vibrant writing. « less
