Product Description
Review
"As a adult writer, Begag's attention to linguistics persists--his original French version drew much praise for its exploration of colloquial Arabic expressions in France... [T]his book's translators strive to preserve and explain the most salient uses of such slang. An important look at Algerian ethnic identity in France, this discussion will also attract readers generally interested in immigration issues." YA/M: The cultural-identity themes will capture strong readers
Synopsis
An autobiographical novel of growing up in the multicultural environment of contemporary France tells the story of Azouz Begag, the son of an illiterate Algerian immigrant in Lyon and his coming of age in a world of ethnic and racial tensions.
