La fin qui nous attendde Ryad Girod

Abstract

his article analyzes Ryad Girod’s novel La fin qui nous attend (2015) as a representative work of Algerian postmodernity. We explore how Girod breaks with the conventions of “emergency literature ”by addressing the events of the Black Decade through the lens of a desacralized and reclaimed myth of the Apocalypse. This study examines the scriptural specificities of Girod’s writing, which align it with a unique Algerian postmodernity defined by a rupture with the totalizing discourses of the past while remaining a powerful tool for contesting Algeria’s socio-political realities
