«Le jour où Nina Simone a cessé de chanter» is the autobiographical account by Darina Al-Joundi and Mohamed Kacimi, published by Actes Sud in paperback.
The narrator grows up in Lebanon during the civil war, seeking to fulfil her father's dream of freedom—a journalist and writer for whom freedom is non-negotiable. The violence of the conflict and a society that represses defiance push her to the limit. It is the story of a return to life after brushing against madness and death.
The French edition has 157 pages and belongs to the Babel collection; the work was originally published in 2008 and this paperback version dates from 2010.
For adult readers, due to its treatment of war, sexuality and drugs, who seek testimonies from Lebanon.
