Tahar Ben Jelloun and Edem
Tahar Ben Jelloun believes that “in a writer you can sense something akin to mystery – that he is capable of inhabiting a world of his own, of creating a work of art, that he can travel the long road”. Ben Jelloun agreed to assist at the birth of such a work, anxious, despite all his talent and past experience, about being up to the task, and ready to be challenged. Thirty years separate him from his disciple Edem, a young author from Togo who has just written his first novel, but a strong rapport has grown between them, based largely on their experience of exile.
