Writings by Assia Djebar, on Assia Djebar
« Assia Djebar is one of the most outstanding prose writers I’ve ever read. She has succeeded in transforming the history of the country and her gender into literature. » Barbara Frischmuth
« Se saisissant de nos mères, grand-mères, sœurs, Assia Djebar nous confronte au mur de leurs silences qui sont devenus les nôtres… Assia Djebar écrit pour amorcer et pour replacer la femme dans l’écriture, donc dans l’histoire. » Les Inrockuptibles
« Assia Djebar écrit pour ne pas mourir, pour que les morts ne meurent pas tout à fait, elle écrit une Algérie féminine, amoureuse. » EDJ
« Djebar’s novels scramble the rigid logic of antitheses, not as literature of protest, but as a search for some room for manœuvre beyond the grand narrative. » TLS
« Both narrator and author know that writing means singing and dancing a ring around history, that language itself is the arrow pointed at the enemy. » Los Angeles Times
« Her novels deliberately confuse time and character to stress the timelessness of their themes, notably the hardships faced by women, the oppressions of colonialism and the redemptive power of language and writing. » The New York Times
