Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, a Senegalese writer is the winner of the 2021 edition of the Goncourt Award. His novel titled “La Plus Secrète Mèmoire des Hommes” enabled him to scoop the prize from other serial writers.

The Senegalese novelist hence won the award ahead of his three competitors: Christine Angot, (Le voyage dans l’Est) Sorj Chalandon (Enfant de salaud), and Louis-Philippe Dalembert (Milwaukee Blues).
31-year-old Mohamed Mbougar Sarr succeeds Hervé le Tellier, the winner of the previous edition of the Goncourt Award.
