Paris, 2018. DiƩgane Latyr Faye, a young Senegalese writer,
discovers a legendary book titled The Maze of Inhumanity. It has an
immediate hold over him. No one knows what happened to the author,
T.C. Elimane, who was accused of plagiarism, his reputation
destroyed by the critics. Obsessed with discovering the truth about
Elimane's disappearance, Faye weaves past and present, countries
and continents, following the author's labyrinthine trail from
Senegal to Argentina and France and confronting the great tragedies
of history. Will he get to the truth at the centre of the maze? A
gripping literary quest novel and a masterpiece of perpetual
reinvention, The Most Secret Memory of Men confronts the impact of
colonialism and neo-colonialism, the holocaust in Europe,
dictatorships in South America and the Caribbean, genocide in
Africa, and collaboration and resistance everywhere. Above all, it
is a love song to literature and its timeless power.
