CONFERENCE AND PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK “READING UNDER PRESSURE” WITH MUSTAPHA BENCHEIKH

“Reading under Pressure” is a story that draws on autofiction. It makes the most of a memory built up over the course of various, but always fascinating, readings. Moments in life intersect with memories that challenge the narrator and reveal characters whose thoughts, on the edge of the narratives evokes, attempt to make their own. Constrained reading gives way to the vertigo of words, and a reflection gradually develops in nuance and doubt. Fragments of a story emerge here and there, like a life journey that sometimes stumbles, sometimes clings to new resistance. By pretending to tell his life story, the narrator questions the book and those whose who love books, and gives us a glimpse of what humanity owes to literature.
