The Fundaci\u00f3n Tres Culturas and the Institut Fran\u00e7ais de Sevilla, in collaboration with the publishing house Cabaret Voltaire, are organising the presentation of the book\u00a0He who is worthy to be loved<\/em> by Abdel\u00e1 Taia, one of the icons of sexual liberation in the Arab world thanks to books like\u00a0My Morocco<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Taia, a French-language Moroccan writer and filmmaker, based in Paris since 1998, was the first Moroccan intellectual to talk about his homosexuality in an interview in the magazine Tel Quel<\/em>. Always attentive to current Moroccan and Arab political affairs, he has so far published eight novels and in 2012 he directed his first feature film, The Salvation Army<\/em>based on his novel of the same name.<\/p>\n

He who is worthy to be loved<\/em> is an epistolary novel, in which Ahmed, a Moroccan living in Paris, writes to his dead mother to settle unfinished business and finally tell her about his homosexuality. A way of going back in time to get to the sources of pain and a reflection on the colonial relationship with Europe that lingers on in the love life of a young Moroccan.<\/p>\n

Abdel\u00e1 Taia will talk to Najat El Hachmi about the wounds, linked to his sexual choice and his struggle, that mark his work, about the social experience of a whole generation of Moroccans, still alive today.<\/p>\n

The author will also be at Casa \u00c1rabe (Madrid) presenting this same work on 31 January.<\/p>\n

Activity included in the celebration of the tenth anniversary of Tres con libros.<\/p>\n

Translation from French into Spanish will be provided.<\/p>\n
