Fatou Diome est née en 1968 sur la petite île de Niodior, dans le delta du Saloum, au sud-ouest du Sénégal. Elle est élevée par sa grand-mère.

Contrairement à ce qu'exigent les traditions de sa terre natale, elle côtoie les hommes plutôt que d'aller aider les femmes à préparer les repas et assurer les tâches ménagères. Toujours en décalage avec le microcosme de l'île, elle décide d'aller à l'école et apprend le français. Sa grand-mère met un certain temps à accepter le fait qu'elle puisse être éduquée : la petite Fatou doit aller à l'école en cachette jusqu'à ce que son instituteur parvienne à convaincre son aïeule de la laisser poursuivre. Elle se passionne alors pour la littérature francophone.

Known as the "enfant terrible of African literature" and "Africa's response to Joyce", Dambudzo Marechera (1952-1987) has been dismissed by some as mad and applauded by others as a genius.
