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.

31-year-old Mohamed Mbougar Sarr succeeds Hervé le Tellier, the winner of the previous edition of the Goncourt Award.
