The Most Secret Memory of Men

“[The Most Secret Memory of Men] travels through space and time, from contemporary Paris to postwar Argentina to a Senegalese village. Besides the main narrator, a collection of voices complement one another to form an overall story, as one of the novel’s main goals is to put different realities and traditions ‘on the same level.’” —New York Times

“The impressive ambition and stunning narrative energy of The Most Secret Memory of Men carried all before it.” —Le Monde

“The revelation of the literary year.” —L’Express
