The Culture guest is the academic and writer Rachid Benzine. In his new novel The Silences of the Fathers (Seuil editions), he recounts the post-mortem reunion of a son with his father who has been lost for years. A journey across France to reconstruct the life of a man about whom he knows little. A tribute to all these men, immigrant workers, whose silences were often misinterpreted by the younger generations.
