Demain, si Dieu le veut (Tomorrow, God willing) by Khadi Hane and Nouvel an chinois (Chinese New Year) by Koffi Kwahulé address the Chinese presence in Senegal and in France. This article draws attention to the fact that the novels are characterized by the presence of serial killers who open up new reading perspectives. Indeed, these characters suggest that these two texts do not invite readers to think of the relations between Africa, China and France in terms of traditional oppositions, such as that between dominated or dominant or victim and his / her executioner. Instead, by featuring characters of killers who present themselves as victims, the novels of Khadi Hane and Koffi Kwahulé invite readers to go beyond this binary logic.
