Faye adds that in the end he went with the child’s point of view because, “It was more poetic. When you’re a child, you’re not trying to find a solution. You don’t look for excuses for violence, ethnicity, war. The perspective was more interesting.”

For me, this is my story. It doesn’t have to do with the fact that I’m an artist or not. It’s my story. I lost family in the genocide. Meet the Shortlisted Writers for the 2019 Albertine Prize". Literary Hub. 2019-04-03 . Retrieved 2019-04-03. I used to think I was exiled from my country. But, in retracing the steps of my past, I have understood that I was exiled from my childhood. Which seems so much crueler. La storia sembra simile a quella personale dello scrittore che però, fortunatamente, mi sembra di capire che lasciando l’Africa avesse accanto i suoi genitori. In Small Country, a man grapples with the senselessness of war and it's permanent effects. From a young age, Gaby wants nothing more than to overcome his overwhelming fear, but that seems to become an impossibility after everything he witnesses. I liked the writing, so my reservations are mostly a matter of storytelling preferences. There are many powerful scenes, but there was also an emotional gap that I couldn’t bridge.On connaissait tous les recoins de l'impasse et on voulait y rester pour la vie entière, tous les cinq, ensemble. Writing a song is like swimming in a river with banks on each side and writing a novel is like swimming in the ocean.” a et b Marie-Catherine Mardi, « Gaël Faye, ce qui ne tue pas rend plus fort», RFI, 26 septembre 2012 Son second album, Lundi méchant, sort le 6 novembre 2020.

He would have written a novel one day or another, it was just a matter of making the leap from rap to literature as an institution,” says Nabokov. I went to Rwanda for the first time after the genocide. It was a country of orphans and widows. Rwanda is a country that rebuilt itself thanks to women. It was women who paid the heaviest price. Often in war, men get killed, but worse happens to women. Rape was nom de guerre . Many women were infected by HIV. Gabriel’s mother represents for me the realness, the presence, of these women who survived—who were made to endure an extraordinary situation. At the beginning of the story, she is a woman who is not at all militant, not even partisan. To the contrary, she dreams of leaving, she dreams of having a life. It’s the story that catches up to her. Editor’s note: The Franco-Rwandan rap songwriter-turned-authorGaël Faye will be at New York City’s Albertine Books on Saturday (October 27) at 4 p.m. ET, in conversation with the National Book Foundation’s executive director, Lisa Lucas. Also in today’s edition, Frankfurt’s film awards are here. —Porter Anderson The story is told through scenes viewed from the perspective of Gaby, we slowly understand the beauty and stability of his life and how that is slowly dismantled and it is no wonder, miles away and many years in the future, something in him yearns for that lost youth. We thought that his [music] fan base could help promote the book, but its success almost caught us by surprise. As early as May, something began to happen. From the newsrooms we heard it was the book of the next literary season that people were going to talk about and it was the book that scouts and agents were talking about.

Gaël Faye en lice pour le Goncourt», sur Le Parisien, 26 octobre 2016 (consulté le 26 octobre 2016). At first, says Nabokov, he wanted to use two voices, sometimes even three. “He wanted to weave together the voice of the adult and the child all along. He tried that for a while.”The assassination of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira in 1993 - Their airplane was shot down as they landed in Rwanda. Genocidal killings of Tutsis and murders of moderate Hutus began the next day I used to think I was exiled from my country. But, in retracing the steps of my past, I have understood that I was exiled from my childhood. Which seems so much crueler.” Purtroppo il 95% del breve romanzo soffre invece di una scrittura zoppicante, come succede spesso quando un adulto vuole mettersi all’altezza di un bambino, riprodurre il linguaggio e la prospettiva dell’infanzia è impresa quasi impossibile. Ancora di più, se l’autore mischia la consapevolezza retrospettiva dell’adulto, il cosiddetto senno del poi.
