Join us at the University of London in Paris @londonu.bsky.social on 13th March 18h-20h: 'Towards a common library: In conversation with Mohamed Mbougar Sarr'. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/towards-a-.... We'll talk Présence Africaine, transnational literature, and writing in search of a common library.

Looking forward to speaking about Khatibi at 'Re-writing Morocco: Poetics, Politics, Philosophy, and History in Multiple Forms' and to meeting colleagues from Rome and beyond! news.uniroma1.it/sites/defaul...

After a busy few months, I'm pleased to share recent work: 1. Abdellah Taia’s debt to the decolonial, pan-African poets of Souffles @livunipress.bsky.social. Inspired by Laâbi, Khaïr-Eddine, Khatibi, I examine Taïa's use of illiteracy in forging a South-South network of Moroccan literary renewal.
