Kiffe kiffe demain (Le Livre de Poche)

Product Information

Il y a bien sûr dans les surprises agréables, des éléments de réticences… (Sinon, on serait dans l'angélisme total, et ce n'est pas le lieu !). This coming of age novel was recommended to me by Rida and while I didn’t like it as much as I had hoped to, I did find it very stark and honest in its portrayal of life on the poor side in Paris, France. I don’t know about you guys but I have a very selective way of thinking about Paris. To me, it is the city of lights, romance and fluffy pastries. Before I read this book, I didn’t think about the people who populated the city, who breathe, live and animate this city. There’s this authenticity in the narrator’s voice, this matter of fact manner of relating facts that I could not help but respond to. It's also potentially educational in that there's a lot to look up about French pop culture of the late 90s and early 00s, the sort of casual references you might get IRL: e.g. saying someone looks like a certain daytime TV presenter. (The book makes sense without knowing all these references, but I enjoy finding out this sort of stuff. If you like to look things up as you go, it means that this otherwise very straightforward book might not be the most convenient read for public transport.) She’s moody at times like all teenagers are but she loves her mom and wants to better their lives and she got spunk to go with it - I’m sure both these women will do just fine on their own.

And it was lovely to meet Doria and Yasmina. Their relationship was the best thing of all. Doria’s pride in her mother and how she was working to support them both. Yasmina’s confidence in her daughter, tempered with concern and uncertainly about what the future might hold. What she found the most violent, she says, was the terrible image this “white, bourgeois society, that I had never encountered before, assigned to me. I had no control over the way I was described, and I didn’t yet understand the true meaning behind the words they used to describe me, or even the way I was portrayed in photographs”. Pour sa critique d' Un homme, ça ne pleure pas, L’Express note «un sens de la formule qui claque» et «un humour tendrement décapant» [38 ].

Cette analyse est partagée par la professeure de français Anouk Alquier dans un article publié en 2011 et intitulé «La banlieue parisienne du dehors au dedans: Annie Ernaux et Faïza Guène». Elle y explique que les relents néocoloniaux au sein de la société française ne permettent pas de reconnaître les textes qui se passent en banlieue comme textes littéraires. Ils sont reconnus comme «textes exotiques, étranges, voire tabous» [53 ].
