TAXI DAKAR is a fable in which an African man, Matar Thiam Fall, whose name means "death," decides to embark on a journey. He travels from town to town across a Spain ravaged by the economic crisis, carrying an old suitcase containing a handful of books he has written and self-published: the first Wolof-Spanish dictionary and the first Spanish-Wolof and Catalan-Wolof conversation guides.
