The Most Secret Memory of Men

by Mohamed Mbougar Sarr

In 2018 Paris, Diégane Latyr Faye, a young Senegalese writer, stumbles upon the enigmatic 1930s novel 'The Labyrinth of Inhumanity'. The author, labeled the 'Black Rimbaud', vanished after it sparked outrage. Obsessed, Diégane embarks on a hunt for the elusive T.C. Elimane, leading him through history's shadows, from colonial oppression to the Holocaust. In Paris, he enters the vibrant sphere of fellow African creatives, romances the mysterious Siga, and traverses Aida's elusive world. This is a profound exploration of life versus art, bridging Africa and the West, celebrating literature's eternal resonance.
