The discussion session opened with a visual presentation of the writer, where there was a meeting with the writing, highlighting the most important criticisms the author received during her literary career. She was born in 1953 April 13 and her most important works are trilogy: body memory, chaos senses, transient beds. The discussion was about the Algerian writer: Ahlam Mosteghanemi The narrator longs to possess the beloved, who however possesses him.The monthly discussion session took place at the Basement Cultural Foundation on Tuesday 2 April 2019 at the Basement Library (Gherbal activity) in the presence of a number of young men and women interested in reading and intellectual discussion. The novelist – Hayat, but also Hayat as a figure for the author, Mosteghanemi – tells “secrets that are, in reality, your own secrets”. Her elusiveness corresponds with her defiant ability to “outsmart Arab custom officials” and “find ways round checkpoints”. Hayat, mirroring the author, is a courageous novelist who “battled history's tyrants” with “gunpowder disguised as a book”. An element of postmodern illusionism adds a trompe l'oeil quality, for in this aesthetic world, memory precedes the event remembered fiction engenders events in the “real” world. Description is dreamy and insubstantial, as images effloresce into conceits (“her laughter's high heels” she “danced as if weeping”), tantalising the reader with a version of the lover's tantalisation. Narrative moves slowly, under a luxuriant outgrowth of meditations on love, in the form of riddle, hyperbole, paradox.

Fiona Barton, The Widow: 'The missing and the dead'.Marceline Loridan-Ivens, But You Did Not Come, book review.Mireille Juchau, The World Without Us: 'Calm before the swarm'.The narrative concerns the “intertwined, overlapping relationships” of Hayat's lovers. Weaving through the trilogy, a trinity of characters links eros, art and war: Khaled, the wounded freedom fighter, is a celebrated expatriate painter Hayat is an alluring novelist the journalist narrator of this third book visits Paris to receive a prize for war photography. Mosteghanemi's ambitious trilogy, translated as The Bridges of Constantine, Chaos of the Senses and The Dust of Promises, is a testament of exile, an allegory of erotic love and an act of political resistance. The ensuing misogynist backlash paradoxically empowered her exilic writings, making her novels bestsellers.
