Title : The Berber Dreamlighter - Fellag - book

Summary :

In an Algiers housing project in the early 1990s, water is distributed twice a week, from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. During this time, while the water flows and life resumes, Zakaria, a famous journalist, observes the actions of his fellow citizens from his balcony and records them on index cards. He would like to use them to compose the great novel of his life and reconnect with his youthful dreams, from the time when he was not shackled by the system. For Zakaria is going through a crisis of conscience. Since the events of October 1988, he joined the protest movement but finds himself caught in a vice: on one side, an old regime that must be dynamited; on the other, Islamist extremists who hunt down women, intellectuals, and all those who refuse to conform to their vision of the world.
To escape death, he hides at home during the day and only leaves his observation post at nightfall to tell us the most incredible stories that abound in a country gripped by fear.
With The Berber Dream Igniter , Fellag sets fire to the imagination of a people who cultivate supreme elegance: that of laughing at their misfortunes.
