Throughout «Allah n'est pas obligé», «Les Étoiles écrasées» and «L’Ecart», Kourouma, Nkashama and Mudimbe raise the issue of epic inking in the contemporary Negro-African novel whose web of events is tinged with the orifice and the writing of the social absurd. From this scriptural collision results a profusion of materials of which the epic inspiration of our corpus, from comparative and narratology, constitutes the crossroads.
Throughout “l’Ecart”, a novel by Yves Valentin Mudimbe and “Les étoiles écrasées” by Pius Ngandu Nkashama the problem which is pointed concerns the oral traces in the modern negro-African novel. The comparative approach, as a basis of our investigation depicts therefore, by a socio-poetic aspect, the different scriptural elements that make the loady of the question understudy. It goes from what is oral in order to establish a poetic form of oral literature in the body of our research.
