Sunugal - Retour au village #[nn]

Three figures share a single red motorcycle across a sun-baked Senegalese landscape — a woman in vibrant traditional dress balancing a basin on her head, a light-skinned traveler sandwiched in the middle, and a young local man at the handlebars — with baobab trees and a village silhouetted on the warm horizon. Sunugal: Retour au village, published by Steinkis in 2023, is a Franco-Senegalese collaboration by David Lessault and Damien Geffroy that immediately evokes the warmth, humor, and gentle collision of worlds that comes with returning somewhere deeply unfamiliar yet strangely welcoming. The cover alone — crowded, colorful, and a little precarious — promises a road trip story with real heart.
