The most secret memory of men / Mohamed Mbougar Sarr ; translated from the French by Lara Vergnaud. by Sarr, Mohamed Mbougar, 1990- Scribner Canada, 2023. Call #: FICTION SAR Subjects Authors, Black -- Fiction.   Books and reading -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781668005682 (trade pbk.) Description:  475 p. ; 23 cm. Notes:  "A novel"--Cover. Translation of: Le plus secrete memoire des hommes. Translated from the French. Summary:  "Paris, 2018. Diégane Latyr Faye, a young Senegalese writer, discovers a legendary book published in 1938 titled The Maze of Inhumanity. No one knows what happened to the author, T.C. Elimane, once referred to as the "Black Rimbaud." After he was accused of plagiarism, his reputation was destroyed by the critics. He subsequently disappeared without a trace. Curiosity turns to obsession, and Faye embarks on a quest to uncover the fate of the mysterious T.C. Elimane. His search weaves past and present, countries and continents, following the author's labyrinthine trail from Senegal to Argentina and France and confronting the great tragedies of history. Alongside his investigation, Faye becomes part of a group of young African writers in Paris. They talk, drink, make love, and philosophize about the role of exile in artistic creation. He becomes particularly close to two women: the seductive Siga, keeper of secrets, and the fleeting photojournalist Aïda. But throughout, a question persists: will he get to the truth at the center of the maze? A gripping detective novel without a detective and a masterpiece of perpetual reinvention, The Most Secret Memory of Men confronts the impact of colonialism and neo-colonialism, the holocaust in Europe, dictatorships in South America and the Caribbean, genocide in Africa, and collaboration and resistance everywhere. Above all, it is a love song to literature and its timeless power."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  French fiction -- Translations into English. Black fiction. Literary fiction.
