Kiffe kiffe demain (Le Livre de Poche)

Product Information

The comparison with Catcher in the Rye and The Invisible Man is as much to suggest that this work deserves to become a French classic. Not because it’s “Lit-ruh-chuh”, but almost precisely because it’s not. It’s a blast of fresh air through the self-satisfied, whiney navel-gazing going on in a lot of celebrated current French novels. For all the adolescent POV, the novel is refreshingly unself-centered. And in daring to put forth for the very first time in French literature a poor marginalised heroine like Doria front and centre of a literary work as a person wholly deserving of an equal place in the country of the bleu-blanc-rouge, Guène follows in the footsteps of Victor Hugo and Collette. And like her predecessors, she deserves as much to be called French as they are.

We tell ourselves; they went through all that, and we are still treated the same way. The question now is how to deal with the anger' Dad, he wanted a son. For his pride, his reputation, his family honor, and I’m sure lots of other stupid reasons.” Doria et sa mère sont les marginales au quartier et elles sont jugées par leurs vêtements. Tous les deux sont les seules qui ne sont pas invitées au mariage d’Aziz. This coming of age novel was recommended to me by Rida and while I didn’t like it as much as I had hoped to, I did find it very stark and honest in its portrayal of life on the poor side in Paris, France. I don’t know about you guys but I have a very selective way of thinking about Paris. To me, it is the city of lights, romance and fluffy pastries. Before I read this book, I didn’t think about the people who populated the city, who breathe, live and animate this city. There’s this authenticity in the narrator’s voice, this matter of fact manner of relating facts that I could not help but respond to. Le Nouvel Observateur souligne les qualités de ses deux premiers romans («des saynètes très drôles, une narratrice attachante, un vrai sens de l'observation») mais déplore une écriture populaire «avec les mots du quotidien» [64 ]. Pourtant cette écriture populaire est revendiquée par l’écrivaine dès ses débuts. En 2008, elle avance que ses écrits ne sont pas assez «nobles» pour les «élites parisiennes» pour être considérés comme de la littérature ( « I like telling stories about ordinary people, anti-heroes of modest means […] not noble or interesting enough to belong to litterature or fiction» [65 ]).Involuntarily, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my identity. I would have preferred to spend more time thinking about my literature.” Inherited shame

She quotes a passage from Baldwin’s novel The Fire Next Time in the prologue of La Discretion, which she feels perfectly describes her parents’ generation as well as hers, and is a chilling description of events happening today in the US: Je comprends parfaitement tes difficultés pour comprendre le livre “Kiffe, kiffe demain” et l’argot mais je trouve que c’est très intéressant et utile pour se familiariser un peu avec ce type de langage. en-US) « The Folio Society produces a limited edition of Jean de Brunhoff’s The Story of Babar», sur Entertainment Focus, 19 février 2020 (consulté le 17 août 2020). Around that time, in a writing workshop, she wrote the draft of what would become her first novel. The French teacher running the workshop asked Guène if he could show her manuscript to someone else. That "someone else" happened to be his sister, the late Isabelle Seguin, an editor at Hachette Litterature, which later became part of the Fayard publishing company.Recently, Guène has started to question the foundations upon which she had built her identity, reading as much as she can about the history of Algeria, its colonisation, independence and immigrants in France. It did not surprise me when I read the author’s biography and found that the author experienced the same life she writes about. I don’t know whether it is the translation but this novel reads less like a fictional piece and more like documentary – raw, real and right there, in front of you. Doria’s observations about the hierarchy, the pain of being a girl when your father wanted a boy, wearing clothes that make other people smirk and laugh – these are just so on point. So on point that the line between reality and fictionality blurs significantly. Et si vraiment on considère ce livre comme un roman, on ressent tout différemment. Cela pourrait être une sorte de « one-woman show » avec toute la finesse d'observation et de retransmission nécessaire au plaisir du public, véhiculant un message.
