Alain Mabanckou recommends
The Most Secret Memory of Men (2023)
Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
"A powerful book, crossed by an epic breath that celebrates the power of literature."
Small Country (2018)
Gaël Faye
"A very personal and intimate novel about an African childhood cut through by socio-political turbulence… Gaël Faye has evoked the darkest pages of contemporary Africa without tipping into pathos."
Sip (2017)
Brian Allen Carr
"Brian Allen Carr has written a great novel, and Sip will remain engraved in the reader's memory for quite some time."
