The two novels of Azouz Begag retrace the story of a writer of North-African origins and represent the starting point for explaining a personality in quest of its own literary and social identity. The autobiographical journey that Begag offers us in these novels means to him revisiting the social history of the group he belongs to, with its mentalities and customs and, at the same time, retracing the individual development since his birth under the sign of two cultures. To him, writing represents the instrument able to recover a certain indentity and its inner truth.
Cele două romane ale lui Azouz Begag refac povestea unui scriitor de origini nord-africane şi reprezintă punctul de pornire în exprimarea unei personalităţi în căutarea identităţii sale literare şi sociale. Călătoria autobiografică propusă de Azouz Begag înseamnă pentru el revenirea la istoria socială a grupului de care aparţine, la mentalităţile şi obiceiurile sale, reconstituindu-şi evoluţia individuală de la naşterea sa sub semnul a două culturi. Pentru el, scrisul este intrumentul prin care îşi recuperează identitatea şi adevărul interior.
