Abstract

"In his second novel, Mahi Binebine deals with a family drama, that of the incarceration and disappearance of Aziz, the eldest son of the Binebines, following the 1971 putsch. After several years of fruitless waiting without any news of her missing son, Mina, ageing and worn out by oblivion, can no longer bear to live in expectation; she feels the imperative need to mourn her son to prevent his memory from fading away but also, like a modern Antigone, to oppose a vindictive justice system with her duty as a mother and the story of her ordeal, which then takes on a cathartic and protest dimension.
