A series of exchanges dedicated to the foundations of literary practice: reading, writing, then building.
Through questions such as the pleasure of reading, the duty to say something true, the place of characters, or the role of literature in a digital world, these interviews explore what novels sometimes say better than experts.
Little by little, the reflection deepens: writing like Ernest Hemingway, understanding what founds a work, and grasping how a novel is born, structured and holds over time.
The whole traces a demanding path: moving from the taste for books to the act of writing, then to the patient construction of a narrative.
"There are journeys that change a man. And others that mark History. In the 14th century, a young Moroccan leaves Tangier � without a map, without certainty, without guaranteed return. From Africa to Asia, he crosses empires, deserts and storms... and writes, without knowing it, one of the greatest travelogues ever told. With Chaib Hammadi, a life of audacity, curiosity and transmission."
"A conversation with Chaib Hammadi: is reading a way to accumulate lives or to deepen a single one? A reflection on the essence of the act of reading."
"What screens teach us� and what books alone can transmit. A reflection on the place of reading in the all-digital era."
