Abstract
There aren't many writers, Arab or otherwise, who ask themselves this unsettling question about the language they write in, and none of them wonders
if they've chosen the wrong one. A writer knows instinctively what language
he'll write in, the same way he knows the language of his audience. The language of reading and writing goes without saying. For Moroccan writers or
let us say, Maghrebian writers, it's not so straightforward. Every Maghrebian
writers has a story to tell about their language or languages ' Arabic, French,
Tamazight ' a story always on the tip of their tongue, that constitutes the
background of what they write, so that nothing they say can be understood
without it. (Kilito, The Tongue 82) |
