Combine Borges and Schmitt, Allende and Mo Yan, and you get Mohamed Mbugar Sarr. He is as unpredictable and stylistically variegated as his protagonist, T.S. Elliman.

"Man's Most Intimate Memory" is an investigative novel in form, but in fact it is a masterful postmodern work that ironically (and sometimes cynically) plays with itself, plays at literature. The novel touches on a variety of topics, from the injustice of colonialism and Europe's guilt towards Africa to sexual and intellectual identity against the backdrop of war and civilisational crisis. It is at once an exotic and esoteric work that strives for an ideal - like Bartol's Alamut - but remains extremely simple and humane.
