Kër Nafy
From école Normale Supérieure to the barricades of May 68 in Paris, to the jails of Gorée Island in Dakar where he died in 1973, the itinerary of a young Senegalese intellectual who became a revolutionary. Another vision of the Senghor – Pompidou years.
Omar Blondin Diop, un révolté
When his novel Bound to violence was published in 1968 by the Editions du Seuil, Yambo Ouologuem was still a young Malian writer, a complete stranger to the general public. However, that same year, he became the first African to win the prestigious Prix Renaudot, and he skyrocketted to fame. But soon after, the young man faced accusations for stealing from great authors. He was boycotted, shamed and even insulted. His life and work is a tragedy, and a source of inspiration.
