Malick Fall

Malick Fall was born in 1920 in Saint-Louis, Senegal. A schoolteacher by training, he worked at the Ministry of Information, became an adviser to President Senghor and represented Senegal as ambassador to Morocco, Ethiopia and Tunisia. A poet before he was a novelist, long little known to the general public, he died on 14 July 1978; a new generation of Senegalese writers, among them Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, rediscovered him in the twenty-first century as a figure of the literary heritage of Saint-Louis.
