Ahlam Mosteghanemi and the poetic novel

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 discussion was about the Algerian writer: Ahlam Mosteghanemi
She was born in 1953 April 13 and her most important works are trilogy: body memory, chaos senses, transient beds. 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. Ahlam said in this interview that the Arab writer does not profit like the Western writer, where she sees that the income of writers in the Arab world is much less than imagined by some, and justified that reading is not a major concern in our Arab countries. She also denied completely that she writes for adolescents, where she said that her writings for all generations, and stated that she met with a family of all ages love her writings. She explained that her writing style has changed somewhat to see that this generation does not like heavy books, so that after the novel (Memory of the Body) began to soften the heavy narrative style, and instructed it as an age of speed and light work in transit. She also stated that the tribute of Nizar Qabbani was a medal hanging on her chest, and was a great incentive for writing and continuity, and that no matter how written Nizar Qabbani.
