Dilemmas of contemporary writing and the novel

Antoine Albala

Writing is not a luxury, but a silent battle between memory and forgetting, between truth and illusion, between what is written to endure and what is written to die in its moment. Antoine Albala confronts the crisis of modern literature with rare courage; he exposes the falsity of packaged texts and reveals the emptiness of novels made by the market, not the soul. Here is an invitation to reflect on the meaning of writing and on the responsibility of the word when it becomes the last weapon against nothingness.
Why do we write? For whom do we write? And what truly remains after the dust settles? And is the novel still capable of saving humanity in this era?
