The “Voix d’Afriques” literary prize, created by RFI and JC Lattès editions in partnership with the Cité Internationale des arts in Paris, rewards Nincemon Fallé, young author. The 22-year-old winner has been writing since adolescence, but a perfectionist, he preferred to wait until his manuscript was to live up to its ambitions.

His novel These ardent suns also questions family, traditions and the links between fathers and sons when the elder stays in the village.
