DU welcomes celebrated Senegalese author Boubacar Boris Diop, 2022 winner of the prestigious Neustadt International Prize for Literature for an exclusive event on Nov. 1.

Diop’s acclaimed novel, Murambi: the Book of Bones (2006), was inspired by Diop’s stay in Rwanda in 1998 after the genocide against the Tutsi. Toni Morrison called the novel “a miracle.”

Diop will read from his work and discuss his writing process in conversation with Dr. Moustapha Ly, Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies.
