Camara Laye (January 1, 1928 – February 4, 1980) was a writer from Guinea. He was the author of The African Child (L'Enfant noir), a novel based loosely on his own childhood, and
The Radiance of the King (Le Regard du roi). Both novels are among the earliest major works in Francophone African literature. Camara Laye later worked for the government of newly independent Guinea, but went into voluntary exile over political issues.
