«L'envers du ciel bleu» is the autobiography of Enrico Macias, written with Mohamed Sifaoui, published by Cherche Midi in paperback (240 pages).
The singer Enrico Macias, born Gaston Ghrenassia, recalls his childhood in Algeria, where Jews had lived for two thousand years, and the forced exile that took him to France. He explains the origin of his stage name and his struggle to mourn the lost land; behind his public smile hides an unhealed pain.
The book was published on 15 October 2015 in the Documents collection and includes illustrations by György Jankovics.
A read for those interested in the lives of artists, the history of the Jews of Algeria, and the experience of exile.
Mohamed Sifaoui is an Algerian-French journalist and writer who claimed that he managed to infiltrate al-Qaeda. He wrote a book about the experience, Mes "frères" assassins. Comment j'ai infiltré une cellule d'Al-Qaïda . Many journalists criticize his ethics as his TV documentaries relate fictive situations and are polemical staging. Sifaoui has also been reprimanded by the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel, the institution regulating the French media, for several racist comments related to the case of Estelle Mouzin.
