Life and literature in Abdekfattah Kilito’s narratives
Abstract
The Moroccan writer Abdelfettah Kilito is undoubtedly an author from the Maghreb whose narratives best illustrate the complex and enigmatic relationship between literature and life. Often portraying characters living in the company of books, his narratives constantly show how literature influences and transforms individuals. However, beyond this metamorphic power of literature which he seeks to thematize through fictional characters, the writer himself is immersed in this experience. He can speak of life only by inhabiting the books and recycling the knowledge that Kilito strives to represent in his narratives.
