Summary:

Orphaned of mother, sidelined by his father, he grew up in the company of books that offered him a new language. He has always been convinced of a gift: if he writes, he rejects death; that which he encloses in the sentences of his notebooks gains time of life. Like a Scheherazade rescuing his fellow men, he experiences the crazy power of the imaginary night after night. This evening, it is with his dying father that he is called by a half-brother honored ... Fable, parable, confession, Kamel Daoud's second novel pays tribute to the need for fiction and the insolent freedom of a chosen language.--Summary by Babelio.
