قرأته بداية العام فيما أتذكر، وضيعت ورقة الملاحظات للأسف..عموما ﻻ أعتقد أن مصطلح رواية يصلح ﻹطلاقه على هذا النص فلا يوجد رواية..كأنها سرديات ما بعد الحداثة ارتكزت على ضفاف الرمزية كنوع من المعارضة لحكم بن علي.. بعض أسماء الشخصيات الحقيقية الواردة قد تكون غير معروفة لنا لكن أكيد القارئ التونسي سيكون أدرى باﻷسماء وبعض الحوادث أيضا..صدر العمل بكلمة لإدوارد سعيد استعملت كفخ برأيي ﻹجتذاب القارئ

If this book requires praise, it would be for this one sentence: "أنا مثل تلك النجوم الآفلة التي دفعت الجميع ليتحدّث عنها بسبب شعلة بائسة جلبت أطنانا من الجوائز الرمزيّة: 112"..."I am like those vanishing stars with a miserable flame that brought tons of symbolic rewards and pushed everyone to speak about them". In an arrogant bout of self-deriding honesty, Ben Brik acquiesces to thank the half-wit dictator -Ben Ali- for setting his miserable name aflame. Since the Arab spring of 2011, who, among the new "literary" voices that sprouted from nowhere, has acknowledged the parasitical nature of their fame? As we witness how the miserable flames of the post January 2011 writers blare up before their creative oil is gone, we are reminded that this lush little book of Ben Brik stated as early as 2004 his indebtedness to a highly-mediatized coup de chance, a stroke of luck that propels idiots to God-like acclaim. Ben Brik has no illusions about his literary worth, and his confessional drivel which he still persistently calls a novel is awfully entertaining. His inspiration is markedly fickle; he whines and blubbers and curses and derides himself and the country that at once embraces and stifles him. You cannot not fall in love with the meta-narrative flair of this lightly structured text. As you pity the writer for his inability to create a thing out of nothing or to disentangle some narrative sense out of the mess of his everyday social fiascoes, you also realize you have been reading some brilliant stuff on the turmoils of keeping creativity aflame, on the guilt-ridden significance of parenting, and on the pleasure of constant self-deprecation when we have nothing else to do.

0.5 ⭐️ Pour ne pas mettre 0.

A part quelques passages perdus dans ces pages, ce livre ne devrait pas exister. Aucune histoire, aucun enchaînement ou cohérence! Que des discours jetés à tort et à travers pour replir les lignes. Rien de chez rien.

Si tu t'attends à des valeurs dérivées des paragraphes ou même un contexte, une bonne surprise de déception t'attendra.

Une perte de temps et papier, je me forçais à tourner les pages mais finalement j'ai laissé tomber..

À déconseiller!
