Abstract
The award in 2021 of the Goncourt prize to La plus secrète mémoire des hommes, by the Senegalese Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, represents a new step in the consolidation of the «littérature-monde». In this paper, we will analyse those aspects of this novel that best illustrate this new deterritorialized narrative that forces us to trascend strictly national frameworks in the study of literature. We will also delve further into the characteristics of these novels written by migrant authors who have been distinguised by their cultural hybridization, who draw from multiple literary traditions and feature postmodern narrative techniques. Those thematic and formal aspects in which this last Goncourt prize deviate from the preceding generations of French-speaking African authors will also be studied.
