Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The political crisis of the 1990s marked a pivotal turning point in contemporary Algerian history, profoundly impacting all facets of society. This crisis significantly influenced Algerian literature, particularly the novel, which entered a new phase characterized by experimentation. This study aims to examine the characteristics of this new narrative style through an analysis of Habib Sayah's novel "Tamsakht: The Blood of Oblivion". This novel is considered one of the most significant literary responses to the events of the 1990s, as it employs a unique narrative discourse and presents a world view that diverges from the perspectives of earlier Algerian novelists. The novel's language also reveals the protagonist's acute awareness of the contemporary political and social crisis.
