The novelist Lilia Hassaine publishes “ Panorama » published by Gallimard. A third novel which immerses us in a dystopian world, a France of 2049, where crime and delinquency have declined until a family mysteriously disappears.

Welcome to the world of Transparency with a capital T. A world of glass houses, in which everyone can observe their neighbors, where everyone is each other’s Big Brother. A world where crime and delinquency have decreased, and where the police are a little bored, until the unimaginable happens: the disappearance of a family, a father, a mother and their little boy, like evaporated without leaving an address.

A glass wall passed with soapy water, in complete violation of the law, and here we are embarked on an investigation which will lift the veil on many secrets. A utopian – or rather dystopian – world imagined by our guest Lilia Hassaine who takes us to the France of 2029 and 2049, in other words in the near or very near future.

Moreover, the premises of this world are undoubtedly already there, and obviously raise many questions. “ Panorama » the third novel of Lilia Hassaine is published by Editions Gallimard.

Reportage : Two weeks before his death, in April 1986, the writer Jean Genet entrusted Roland Dumas, his lawyer, with two suitcases and told him to do with them what he wanted. What do they contain? Loaned by IMEC, the Institute of Contemporary Publishing Memories, their content is exhibited for the first time at the Arab World Institute as part of the exhibition “What Palestine brings to the world”. Marjorie Bertin explored them for VMDN
