"Pillar of Salt" is a remarkable autobiographical novel about coming of age in the Jewish ghetto of Tunis during the 1930s and 1940s. Besides providing an enjoyable narrative, Memmi conveys a vivid picture of the impact of French colonialism on Tunisian society in general and on Tunisian Jews in particular. It is a study of multiple alienation, at once from traditional Jewish culture, Tunisian Muslim culture, and French culture. Memmi's work also sheds light on the little known story of the Holocaust in Axis-occupied Tunisia as well as the growth of zionism among North African Jews.This book is a must read for anyone interested in French colonialism, North Africa, and modern Jewish history. It is also simply a good read.
This (semi)autobiographical book was written in the mid fifties. It deserves to be plucked from obscurity and placed among the better novels of the 20th century. Artful prose tells the story of a boy growing up in colonial Tunis. He is at the crossroads of Jewish, French, African and Moslem/Arab culture. He is unable to assimilate all these influences into his life, so he rejects his background and is left with a void he cannot fill. Highly recommended.
This was interesting in that it gives a clear picture of Algeria in the first part of the 20th century. More multicultural than I had really understood.
read this book. read this book. read this book if you ever want to have a sense of what it meant to be a tunisian jew.
This is a great book about the life of an African Jew covering pre and postwar France. Compelling and thought provoking!
This is a well-written novel about the life of a Jewish Tunisian boy, growing up in the years leading up to WW2. It is generally considered to be autobiographical, and though the narrator’s name is not the author’s, it reads more like a memoir than a novel: it records Alexandre’s memories and thoughts about his life, but has few if any traditional scenes and very little dialogue or physical description; the detail is primarily emotional. And yet, the specific incidents that make up the narrator’s experiences feel drawn from life, rather than the types of occurrences an author is likely to invent.The first section of the novel is about Alexandre’s childhood, and it begins in almost idyllic fashion, though it gains complexity as he becomes aware of his family’s poverty and the divisions in his society. The second and longest section follows him through high school, torn between the traditional lifestyle of his family (who come to resent allowing him to study at all, since it means not bringing in money) and the European middle class. This part of the book reminded me of Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels in its examination of social class, through the lens of an impoverished student trying to succeed in an almost foreign world. The final section is about WW2 and the German occupation, and while this is by no means a thriller, it introduces some suspense and is a different sort of war story than I’d read before.At any rate, I enjoyed this book: it is well-written (or well-translated), and the narrator is complex and feels genuine. While there’s no single plot, the story kept my interest, and formed a great introduction to the complexities of a place I knew next to nothing about. The supporting characters receive less development, and there are more of them than we could get to know well – again, in memoir-like fashion – but in a story focused on the narrator’s search for identity, it works. I would recommend this one.
I was looking forward to reading this because I am going to Tunisia and I love literature, especially if it's challenging literature. But instead of being challenging, I found this narrative quite tedious and eventually annoying. It reads is almost like a Woody Allen parody of an existential memoir. Memmi is totally self-absorbed and alienated almost from birth. As a kid he is alienated from his parents, from other kids, from his culture--enough already. Remember the scene of the young Woody/Alvy going to a psychiatrist in "Annie Hall"? I swear it's young Memmi:Alvy's mother: He's been depressed. All of a sudden, he can't do anything.Doctor: Why are you depressed, Alvy?Alvy's mother: Tell Dr. Flicker. (To the doctor) It's something he read.Doctor: Something he read, huh?Alvy: The universe is expanding...Well, the universe is everything, and if it's expanding, some day it will break apart and that will be the end of everything.Alvy's mother: What is that your business? (To the doctor) He stopped doing his homework.Alvy: What's the point?
