Le Prix du pardon forms the base in a book that was written by Mbissane Ngome, who, with similar characteristics to Wade, forms the coast of Senegal, where the background of the story is set. The Story of Ngome relies on an oral narrative tradition that the people with whom he is related to and Le Prix du pardon have similarities to this (Groof 200). Due to the respect he had for his oral tradition, Wade decided to be a narrator accompanied by everyday functions and all the supernatural events. This visual technique that Wade employs, as a feature debut couler locale and folklore, is beyond all functions with a very straight and sharp eye for a symbolic detail. For example, the garish pattern that is usually seen on African materials were not a choosing that simply for costumes, however, a pure and plain material with oblique colors.
A village for fishing on the southern side of the coast of Senegal that lives in fear due to the un-similar cloud of mist that hangs right on top of the village on the clouds seems a little creepy. For this reason, the fishing boat that the whole village has to depend economically on has no ability to sail. When young Mbanik makes the ability of them to disappear, he is considered the village hero. As a result, he is in a state of declaring the love and feelings he has for Maxoye. The childhood friend of Mbanik, known as Yatma (Humbert Kounde), is filled with jealousy due to Mbanik's prestige not to include the relationship he has with Yatma, within a nine feet range, he kills him. He shortly manages to be left unpunished and even has the permission to marry Maxoye. Unfortunately, Maxoye is pregnant with the baby of Mbanki, a child that Yatma will be in the position to raise a great humiliation
