Written by 19 year old Faïza Guène, daughter of north African immigrants this account of a year in one girls's life is presented in approachable, ironically humorous chapters rich in detail about what if feels like to belong to a less favoured group in society. The sarcastic, cynical Doria, thrown into poverty by the departure of her father who hankers after a male son, references popular culture as her main source of metaphor. The language is direct, almost in diary format and is very contemporary in style with some use of verlan. The narrator savages the heroine as well as the succession of social workers who come to help her and her mother. As she finds stability through her further education course and love from an unexpected direction Doria grudginly accepts what society is doing for her. Extracts from the book would be useful to illustrate social issues and themes. Faïza Guène's later work builds on Kiffe kiffe demain to provide an alternative view of modern France from the beur perspective. |
