«Jour de silence à Tanger» is a story by Tahar Ben Jelloun, published by Points in paperback (128 pages, in French).
In Tangier, an elderly man spends a windy, lonely day in a large empty house; as he grows bored, he recalls faces, voices and scenes from his life. The story contrasts the narrator's unsparing gaze with the old man's voice, which responds and murmurs what was never said. An inquiry into old age, memory and the weight of the unspoken.
The book bears the subtitle «récit» and appears as number 160 in the Points collection; this edition was published on 24 October 1995.
May appeal to readers of contemporary fiction in French, as well as students wanting to practise the language with a short narrative.
