Camara Laye, who died February 4, 1980, was an African writer from Guinea best known for “L'Enfant noir”, (published as ‘The African Child’ and ‘The Dark Child’) based loosely on his own childhood, and “The Radiance of the King”. Both highly regarded novels are among the earliest major works in Francophone African literature. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotescamaralaye . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #onthisday #literaryhistory #bookstagram #books #bookworm #author #authorquotes #authormemes #writer #writerquotes #camaralaye #theafricanchild #theradianceoftheking #stars #knowledge #wonder #question https://www.instagram.com/p/B8JgussB4Kl/?igshid=13r362dlbzphh

Unfortunately, due to an error with author photos on Goodreads (and Google image searches) we posted a photo of Cameroonian author Mongo Beti by mistake. Thanks to @datchin.t for pointing this out. https://www.instagram.com/gasstation_b/p/BvFNGEEB-gO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fpik1jwzmqz4
