Bouchareb’s hope leaves the reader approaching the end

Algeria | Writing in general is a form of rebellion, which the writer exercises over everything that can be dedicated to the reader or society. It is a revolution against everything traditional. We don’t mean the revolt with the prevailing definition that stuck to the word, but the rebellion is writing in a new and different way in a different garment than the one we used to wear, and with stories of virginity different from the ones we wrote. Perhaps the Italian-Algerian book Amal Bouchareb (1984) “The Rebellious” (L ›anticonformista 2019 – Buendia Books. Italia) came to consolidate and refute what we wanted to say. Who reads his works starting with his Arabic animated collection, “Thirteen On” (2013 – Algerian publications “Shehab”) and his police novel “Sukrat Najma” (2015 – publications “Shehab”) and his latest work “Constant Darkness” (2018 – “Shehab” publications), He realizes that he is facing a writer who never facilitates writing. She writes because the writer inside wanted to say something. That is why we note that there is much between their actions. This is what we allude to, compared to some writers and writers of his generation, who started writing every year every year, and he raises up after him many hurricanes that are quickly extinguished by accumulation. She works on her texts to make the reader want to read a true literature that we enjoy as readers. Literature inlaid with knowledge, with defective language, narration and themes.

When you read “Constant Darkness”, you realize that you are facing a modern police novel that has many secrets in its possession, loaded with enormous epistemological amounts, that tells a spy story related to a secret manuscript found in the Al region -Ahgar, and talk about the barons of treasure hunters. It also addresses the corruption that is corroding societies, starting with the corruption of officials and departments, depending on what is happening in Algeria and many social problems. We also see this in his police novel, “Sukrat Najma”, which is no less valuable than the first in terms of the problems it addresses in an interesting police presentation. This is what leads us to say that Bouchareb’s hope did not depend on one style in his work, but that he took more than one approach. Therefore, its two agents fall within the so-called epistemic narrative, as well as the modern detective (The Thriller).

Talent to turn science fiction into grease for your novels

What’s also remarkable about his writing is that he can master aspects of his work without getting his way. Sometimes we read ordinary works devoid of scientific knowledge, and they contain no secrets and mysteries, but their writer could not miserably control the reins of their text. But this Algerian novelist and translator has a workforce, and she also works on it. He writes with great professionalism through which he manifests his conscience, as well as his exceptional talent for turning science fiction into great material for his novels, as well as addressing critical social issues in an interesting narrative style. Furthermore, his novels are free of structural appendages and fats that spoil the act of writing. She is already rebellious against the rituals of writing, until she was able to create a path similar to that of writing the novel, as well as those who are well versed in the act of writing with knowledge of their worlds and rituals. However, as readers, we are tired of repeating the same themes about love and betrayal stories, and themes that in no way can elevate the reader’s taste or intellectual level. Therefore, Bouchareb’s hope is very different from that of the children of his generation: whoever reads his works and reads other works can see the difference.
The beauty of his works is that he leaves the reader at the end, loaded with many questions. It allows you to ask and ask, and this is, in my opinion, the goal of literature. We do not want to read literature that thinks instead of us, but to read literature that motivates us to think and invites us to always break the silence by asking questions.
In fact, the writer rarely resembles his texts, but this writer creatively and humanely resembles his texts. In her works, she always tries to respect her reader and elevate her tastes, because “there are books that are not written by him, but by those who suffer them”, in the words of Marquis.
