Title: With your hands
Author: Ahmed Kalouaz
Genre: Editions du Rouergue novel
Here is a moving book, modest and deeply human, discovered by chance in a bookstore in Perpignan this summer.
The author reinvents the story of his father long after his death. Poverty in Algeria, the second world war, working in France the most thankless and poorly paid, contempt, injustice, but always personal pride. Ahmed Kalouaz born in Algeria, grew up in France and believed it was not close enough to the father who has suffered for his family, who always hoped to return to Algeria, but that will come back in a coffin and will stay away from home.
You feel the nostalgia, regret that will not return, a certain modesty to speak of a father who never expressed her feelings. It is seen from within that exile is also a break with his country of origin but also with his own children as they draw away and otherwise. We perceive the double insulation for those immigrants whose return will remain a dream. Finally is there a blessing for these people who left everything? Beau
novel where filial love spreads underneath.
Kalouaz Ahmed was born in 1952 in Arzew (Algeria) very young and joined his father with the whole family. He currently lives in Villeneuve-les-Avignon (Gard).
novels, poetry, drama, children's literature, creative writing or words even in prison, Ahmed Kalouaz has to date published over 30 books.
