‘Coeur-d’amande’, Yasmina Khadra’s new novel ‘to remind people of the need to reinvent themselves’

-

For Yasmina Khadra, Barbès is a multi-colored neighborhood where friendship, fraternity and solidarity reign: Life is there, among the little people who are giants to me.. We hear people laughing and living. We hear them living! […] In these places, you have time for yourself and time for others, it’s wonderful.“.

Nestor, as soon as he leaves home, experiences his difference but this is not a problem for him. This is how the author presents it: He understood something very important: he exists, he is unique, he is irreplaceable. […] Every individual must think like this“emphasizes with enthusiasm the Algerian author whose many books are his greatest success, What the day owes to the night, have been toadapted to cinema, theater, comics, choreography.

Nestor, a character with modest happiness, happy with all the little joys of everyday life, but also narcissistic: “Narcissism is not for pretty guys” he said in this story where “the beauty of the soul is this way of being” underlines Yasmina Khadra who adds: “Nestor’s teaching is that you have to know how to reinvent your happiness. […] We must project ourselves into the light and never remain in the dark.“.
