MOHAMED MBOUGAR SARR was born in Dakar in 1990. He studied literature and philosophy in Paris and is the author of four prize-winning novels. The Most Secret Memory of Men was awarded France's Prix Goncourt in 2021 and is an international phenomenon, selling more than half a million copies in France and translated into more than thirty languages.
This marvellous novel is part gripping literary mystery and part disquisition on being a black author in a predominantly white culture… the reader is drawn into a skilfully drawn reconstruction of French literary history in which ideas of authenticity, power, race and fame are wittily deconstructed. Terrific * Daily Mail * A masterpiece * The Times * Funny, sharp takes on questions of identity add grit to an inventive tribute to literature's timeless potency * Mail on Sunday * A literary quest… The style as well as the sweep is Bolañoesque: surreal metaphors, multi-page dream descriptions * Observer * Sarr’s incisive critique never relents… a brilliant effort at welcoming readers into the work of an author whose career was interrupted * Guardian *
