Meeting with writer Fatou Diome
On 3 SEPTEMBER 2026 from 6 PM to 8:30 PM
« Cette félicité-là fut bien mienne ; et cette page de notre vie, ni le temps ni la mort ne peuvent la modifier ou la soustraire, encore moins la supprimer. » Fatou Diome, Aucune nuit ne sera noire, éditions Albin Michel
Meeting with writer Fatou Diome, member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium
Fatou Diome, a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium, will be the guest for the start of the season. Imbued with a spirit of celebration, Aucune nuit ne sera noire, Fatou Diome's latest book, resonates with our times and their fragilities.
Blending personal experience, social reality, and the power to act, the writer's literary world follows a combative and poetic path that resonates particularly with the exhibition Tempesta, where voices, belonging, and transformation echo the text Fatou Diome addresses to her ancestors.
Come discover how the writer looks, without flinching, at what storms can do to bodies and consciences, in her stories filled with humanism.
About Aucune nuit ne sera noire, published by Albin Michel:
In her book Aucune nuit ne sera noire, Fatou Diome pays powerful tribute to her maternal grandfather, a fisherman from the island of Niodior, Senegal. This intimate account stands as the author's celebration of the grandparents who raised her with tenderness and humility.
