«La voyeuse interdite» is the novel by Nina Bouraoui, published by Gallimard in paperback (142 pages, in French).
In Algiers, a teenage girl observes the world from her window: the men in the street, the women shut up at home. To endure the silence and oppression, she spies on her neighbours and invents stories. Desire, death and imagination intersect in a gaze that transgresses the forbidden.
The novel, published in March 1991, bears the nrf imprint of Gallimard and received that year the Prix du Livre Inter and the Prix Emmanuel-Roblès.
For readers of French literature interested in Algeria, identity and female voices.
