In an African city-state people of all languages and nationalities converge with only one desire: to make a fortune by exploiting the wealth of the country, both mineral and human. As soon as night falls, they go out to get drunk, dance, eat and abandon themselves in Tram 83, the only night-club of the city, the den of all iniquities. Lucien, an honest writer fleeing the exactions and the censorship of the Back-country, finds refuge in the city thanks to Requiem, a friend who lives mainly on theft and on swindle. Around them gravitate gangsters and young girls, retired or runaway men, profit-seeking tourists and federal agents of a non-existent State. Tram 83 plunges the reader into the atmosphere of a gold rush as cynical as, it is comic and colourfully exotic. It's an observation of human relationships in a world that has become a global village, an African-rhapsody novel hammered by rhythms of jazz.
