After the death of her father, Kaddour, on the weekend of August 15, 2020, Rachida Brakni realized that she did not know much about this man, who could neither read nor write.
She then begins to reconstruct her story.
With
Kaddour
(Stock), she writes delicate and strong, necessary pages.
Throughout the book, she addresses the one who is no longer there to respond, and in any case, during his lifetime he remained silent.
“I know little about you… A few puzzle pieces so scattered that I cannot draw the contours of your existence and even less have an overall view.
Barely a draft, a sketch.”
Even if her father's lips
"remain sealed, cemented forever"
, she takes up the pen and persists in wanting to exhume this father's story.
In doing so, she raises a magnificent literary tomb for him.
A tribute to an invisible and silent person who has the strength of a duty of memory and a universal reach.
