                             LONGLISTED FOR THE PRIX GONCOURT   

1969: The Americans land on the moon and Mehdi lands at the lycée Lyautey in Casablanca. One of his earlier teachers was so impressed by his intelligence and ravenous reading that he managed to get Mehdi a scholarship to the prestigious French school.

With his trademark sarcastic humor, Fouad Laroui recounts the cultural shock this young Moroccan experiences as he discovers how the French live: these people who live in luxury, eat inedible food, speak shamelessly, and show an incomprehensible fascination with him.

Like Le Petit Chose and Le Petit Nicolas, Laroui has crafted a touching and comical story about a child propelled into a universe that is opposite from everything he knows.
