  • "I had to rediscover who I was. And that's why I left the apartment ... And there I was, right in the heart of the Arab world, a world that never tired of making the same mistakes over and over ... I had no more leniency when it came to the Arab world ... None for the Arabs and none for myself. I suddenly saw things with merciless lucidity ... -- An Arab Melancholia."@en
  • "Roman construit sur l'autobiographie de l'auteur, issu d'une famille pauvre marocaine, que l'homosexualité et le goût de la culture vont pousser à voyager et entamer une carrière artistique. Le récit sincère et courageux d'un jeune Arabe qui assume son homosexualité sans renier son origine et sa religion."
