Volim sutra

Faiza Guene

"I Love Tomorrow" is a semi-autobiographical novel-diary, a snippet from the life of Doria, a lively, witty, sharp and somewhat sassy fifteen-year-old who is slowly learning to look at the world positively.

It is also an atypical chronicle of the Parisian suburb of Livry-Gargan, in the famous 93rd arrondissement, known for its high rate of violence and large immigrant population, because it manages to avoid the trap of excessive pessimism and fatalism in a very intelligent way.

Doria has been living alone with her mother since her father, the “bearded man”, left them one morning, going to Morocco to find a younger and more fertile woman. Narrating a year of Doria’s life, Faïza Guène brings a gallery of funny and poetic portraits: Doria’s mother, a maid at the Formula 1 hotel in Bagnolet; her friend Hamoudi, an older boy from the neighborhood who has known her since she was “as big as a hashish bar”; Mrs. Burlaud, the school psychologist who wears halter tops and smells of lice shampoo; the social workers who pass by their small two-room apartment on assignment; her peer Nabil, who gives her instructions and takes the opportunity to steal her first kiss; or Aziz, a merchant whom Dorija tries in vain to set up with her mother, and he won't even invite them to his wedding. But that's okay - Dorija and her mother "don't care that they're not part of the jet set".

Bitter and fed up with everything, disappointed in everything except her mother's love, Dorija presents the problems of an entire schizoid generation of young French people who live between two cultures: the traditional culture of their parents' country and contemporary French culture.
