This reflexion attempts to analyse how the notion of «bar» in the writing of Tierno Monénembo offers itself as the anchor of an aesthetic outlet. Like a pretext, the topos of the bar in his work illustrates the outlet of a counter-moral story. The objective is to demonstrate that the space of the bar constitutes an inscription of pretext consciously developed by the author to translate this aesthetic outlet. Thus, the postulate is that the consummated story deviates while undermining the reader’s expectations and makes the work particular. The analysis, with an onomastic aim, makes it possible to elucidate the events and the behaviour of the characters based on the meaning of their place of manifestation or attachment, notably in L’Aîné des orphelins, Le Terroriste noir, Bled and Saharienne indigo. It emerges from the examination that the outlet dimension in the Monenembian story reveals itself as a new taste for youthful need and above all, a change of scriptural paradigm.
