Title : Allah Superstar - YB - Book
Summary :
"Let me introduce myself: Kamel Hassani. I was born in Algeria nineteen years ago. My father's name is Mohamed like everyone else. Back home, he worked in tourism, so he met my mother on the beach in Tipaza in '82, Martine Gros, a shorthand typist on vacation with her funny works council. My father screwed her so well that she stayed with him in Algiers, and I was born right after. A year later, my poor mother, a bearded man in a white robe spat on her and called her a "satanic Frenchwoman," even though she's just a good woman from Charente. Luckily, my father reacted like a man: he rushed to the travel agency to buy three tickets." Kamel wants to be a movie star or a trendy comedian, because "Jamel Debbouze can eat his fill," "but for Arabs, it's easier to get into Al Qaeda than TF1." » Here is the resistible rise of "a young man from a difficult background", from Evry where he was a teammate at Quick, to the Olympia, where he would end up in glory, his head in the stars... Through the eyes, as piercing as they are naive, of this son of an Algerian immigrant, YB recounts the difficulty of existing outside of economic, social, and cultural ghettos. This novel, where laughter serves virulence, sends back to back the soft democrats and the Islamists, the society of the spectacle and traditionalisms, mocks communitarianism of all kinds, and blasts the stupidity of some, the lies of others. With this book, comic from one end to the other, twisting the language of the projects and French rap, YB, armed with words, drops a bomb of a new kind.
