Wanting to combat a feeling of the unsaid, recounting the conquest and colonization of Algeria are the starting points of Mathieu Belezi’s work. In his novel Attacking the Earth and the Sun, he recounts the fate of a handful of settlers and soldiers caught in the forgotten hell of Algerian colonization in the 19th century. In a short novel, the writer upsets and breaks a haunted voice.
