		A careful analysis of some of the works of Birago Diop will equally indicate that he gives the destruction of the physical environment a kind of sacrilegious connotation.
		Diop's evocation is reminiscent of the countless stories of African literature, which aim at controlling the ecosystem.
		One of the features of this language is that one needed to be well-acquainted with the behaviour and nature of the various environmental objects and animals it evokes in order to appreciate the meaning and significance of its metaphors.

		Birago Diop's story "Sarzan" is quite different from most of the others in his first volume, and is much more a short story than an African conte, although it retains elements of the latter.

	Insanity in the story 'Sarzan' by Birago Diop of Senegal
		And one doesn't have to be a sergeant returning home from foreign lands to do this; a husband, having read something in the newspaper which his wife doesn't yet know about, can tell her about it over dinner for the purpose of making her feel ignorant; pleasurably "confirming" in his mind his superiority to her.
		Surprisingly, Diop's story begins not with his main character, but with an incident from the early history of Senegal.

	On Eli Siegel's Explanation of Insanity: True in Africa As in the US (continued)
		Siegel has explained, is the "temptation of man...to get a false importance or glory from the lessening of things not himself." It is interesting that Diop presents Keita as the son of a chief.
		As Birago Diop's story ends, we hear one more song--one that accents terror.
		Diop's story--while not as great as some things in world literature dealing with insanity--does have, in my careful opinion, true aesthetics.
