The Belly of the Atlantic ~ Fatou Diome

Medium soft cover
185 pages

The Belly of the Atlantic by Fatou Diome is a lyrical and politically charged novel that explores the emotional cost of migration and the illusions of success abroad. Narrated by Salie, a Senegalese woman living in France, the story unfolds through her reflections on identity, exile, and the dreams of her football-obsessed younger brother, Madicke, who longs to escape their island home for fame in Europe. Diome weaves a powerful critique of colonial legacies, economic disparity, and the myth of the West as salvation, while celebrating the resilience of those caught between two worlds. The novel is both a personal journey and a broader commentary on the complexities of belonging and the scars of displacement.
