Desde Lokolela, un pueblo sumergido en la selva a orillas del gran río Congo, el narrador nos lleva de la mano a través de historias que van mucho más allá de los anchos márgenes del río, desde la selva hasta África.Un hebreo huérfano quema todas las naves huyendo de sí mismo; un camarero se transforma cada madrugada frente al espejo en aquello que la naturaleza le negó ser; un médico renuncia al amor tras una fatídica revelación de su propia ciencia; una sierva de Dios descubre que ni todas las oraciones podrían repeler sus tentaciones más profundas ni alterar el rumbo de su aciago destino.En Bolingo en tiempos del Congo nos asomamos, a través de la visión caleidoscópica del narrador, al llanto, las risas, las conversaciones, el amor —bolingo— y todas las pasiones que se mezclan y danzan acompasadas al ritmo de la rumba congoleña.Junto a otros muchos géneros musicales, esta novela captura y da cuerpo, en imágenes y sonidos, a ese trocito de realidad que queda plasmado con hermosa pulsión poética en sus páginas.
