Novels in Translation: The Most Secret Memory of Men by Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
Join the Ohio Center for the Book at Clevo Books, a downtown Cleveland bookstore specializing in translated works of literature, for a discussion on Mohamed Mbougar Sarr's The Most Secret Memory of Men (translated from the French by Lara Vergnaud).
From the publisher:
"In 2018, Diégane Latyr Faye, a young Senegalese writer in Paris, discovers a legendary book from the 1930s, The Labyrinth of Inhumanity. No one knows what became of its author, once hailed as the “Black Rimbaud,” after the book caused a scandal. Enthralled by this mystery, Diégane decides to search for T.C. Elimane, going down a path that will force him to confront the great tragedies of history, from colonialism to the Holocaust."
