Dimitri Nasrallah recommends
The Most Secret Memory of Men (2023)
Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
"An ingeniously constructed, ferociously intelligent literary detective novel in the tradition of Roberto Bolano and Jorge Luis Borges. In The Most Secret Memory of Men, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr adds to the West's fascination with canonization, cult books, and their absent authors, but with a resolutely postcolonial twist. His comic, piercing, multifaceted story politicizes the tendency of Europe's literary establishment to tokenize and then erase marginalized authors. A brilliant, labyrinthine, highly entertaining page-turner, rightly cemented as a contemporary masterpiece by the Prix Goncourt."
