"The Most Secret Memory of Men” published by Philippe Rey and Jimsaan

In 2018, Diégane Latyr Faye, a young Senegalese writer, discovered a legendary book in Paris, published in 1938: The Labyrinth of the Inhuman. The author, once dubbed the "black Rimbaud," had been lost track of since the scandal sparked by his text's publication. Fascinated, Diégane then embarked on the trail of the mysterious TC Elimane, confronting the great tragedies of colonialism and the Holocaust. From Senegal to France via Argentina, what truth awaits him at the center of this labyrinth?

Without ever losing the thread of this quest that absorbs him, Diégane, in Paris, frequents a group of young African authors: they all observe each other, discuss, drink, make love a lot, and question the necessity of creation from exile. He will especially become attached to two women: the sultry Siga, holder of secrets, and the fleeting photojournalist Aïda…

Perpetually inventive, The Most Secret Memory of Men is a stunning novel, dominated by the demand to choose between writing and life, or by the desire to go beyond the question of the face-off between Africa and the West. Above all, it is a love song to literature and its timeless power.
