Aïda Mady Diallo is a French-born Malian novelist and director. She is the author of the novel Kouty, mémoire de sang (2002).


Life and work


After her childhood in France and receiving a college degree in Uzbekistan, Diallo moved to Mali.[1]

Her novel Kouty, mémoire de sang (Kouty, Memories of Blood), tells the story of a young girl in 1980s Gao seeking the death of her family at the hands of Tuareg killers.[2] In an interview with the magazine Bamako Culture, Diallo described the novel as "a call for tolerance and forgiveness."[3] Critic Pim Higginson described it as adapting the tropes of the crime novel and romance novel to critique the fascination of Western readers with African violence.[4]

Diallo's television film Karim et Doussou, the story of a contemporary Malian marriage, was nominated for a 2011 Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) award.[5]
