In this gripping literary mystery and coming-of-age novel, Sarr unravels the fascinating life of a maligned Black author, based on Yambo Ouologuem. The text has been widely acclaimed: David Diop called it a \u201cmagnificent novel that also offers a profound reflection on the resonance of literature in our lives\u201d and Le\u00efla Slimani commented that: \u201ca love letter to literature, this novel is already a classic and it will haunt you\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":331730,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[213],"app_city_tax":[221],"app_event_type":[241],"class_list":["post-331720","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-literature","app_city_tax-atl","app_event_type-talk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mohamed Mbougar Sarr in Conversation - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/va\/events\/mohamed-mbougar-sarr-in-conversation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mohamed Mbougar Sarr in Conversation - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Join us for three special conversations with Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, 2021 winner of the Prix Goncourt for his fourth novel, THE MOST SECRET MEMORY OF MEN.
