"Mystemes", "mystagogues" are considered by Professor Y. Dakouo as invariable categories of African Texts. They constitute a part important of the relation between the literature and reality. According to this status of the African literature appears to be the isotope of mystèmes and mystagogues. So when Reading African novels, one can notice that mystery has an important place. The purpose of the presentation is to analyze the mystic signs in two novels "Waiting for the Vote of Wild animals" (En attendant le vote des animaux sauvages, A. Kourouma: 1998) relating the story and "Memoirs of a Spicy Pork" ( Mémoires de porc épic A. Mabanckou: 2006). They highlight some components of the mystical sign (natably "mystemes" and "mystagogues") structure the story. Moreover,the mystical sign, in these novels stands to maintain continuous relationships with reality (euphoria) or, on the contrary, discontinuity (dysphoria). A. Kourouma and A. Mabanckou use the mystic sign to to indigenize the african novel and give it the face of the people concerned by the stories. Their style creates a new refonation of african literature.The concept of "mystemes" and "mystagogues" have been forged by professor Dakouo Yves of the university Joseph Ki-Zerbo to descibe the mystic sign.
