Colors of shame

Alber Kasiri, an Egyptian writer, writes in French, born in Cairo in 1937, studied in its French schools, died in Paris at the age of ninety-four. His first book (People God Forgot) was published in 1940, and he settled permanently in Paris in 1995, spending most of his life in room 58 of the Parisian Laloisian Hotel in the Saint Germain des Prés neighborhood, passing away in the same room, rejecting ownership (ownership makes you a slave). For many years, his daily company at the Café de Flore in Paris included: Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Lawrence Daryl, Henry Miller... he is one of the faces of Saint Germain, the Voltaire of the Nile, the French Oscar Wilde, the Arab Buster Keaton... and other titles given to him when the City of Light was at the height of its cultural brilliance. Kasiri was not content with mockery only in his novels, but embodied it in his life, which was an ideal model of audacity that transcended all boundaries. His works are worlds of freedom, hatred of injustice and authority, the power of satire and sarcasm... He published (Colors of Shame) on October 11, 2000, after a silence of fifteen years, returning with this novel, dedicating his creativity, as usual, to supporting the only people worthy of his respect in this world, those who realized that happiness does not mean owning the revolution (material). Alber Kasiri received the Grand Francophone Award for his entire work, the Odybirty Award, and the Mediterranean Basin Award.
