Reports from the Other Side

A 360-degree panorama of our modern world, by way of the most eclectic subjects, written by a passionate commentator of our times–Fouad Laroui.
Born in Morocco, Fouad Laroui studied in France, traveled all the way to the far reaches of Asia to sell phosphate, then gave it up to teach in France, Great Britain, then the Netherlands, and started writing novels in French and poems in Dutch that have seen remarkable success.

Born in Morocco, Fouad Laroui studied in France, traveled all the way to the far reaches of Asia to sell phosphate, then gave it up to teach in France, Great Britain, then the Netherlands, and started writing novels in French and poems in Dutch that have seen remarkable success. He is an insatiable surveyor of our world, with a thirst for knowledge and a bottomless appetite for all kind of writing, who never ceases to be amazed at humankind’s extraordinary capacity for intelligence. Each time the occasion presents itself, he stops for a moment to write one of his pithy, yet luminous chronicles on the cultural, sociological, and political phenomena that make our world go round. The miracle with Fouad Laroui is that after reading one of his chronicles, you truly feel smarter, without seeming to have made the slightest effort. We all would have love to have such a passionate professor in every subject, who not only cares about sharing his knowledge, but with a pen that’s as alert and humorous as it is instructive. Above all, what comes out of reading these brief, funny, and brilliant texts is a profound humanism and an immense hunger for knowledge. We gain the conviction that culture remains the only common story still capable of bringing humanity together. This work presents a collection of Fouad Laroui’s best chronicles, offering a complete panorama of today’s biggest debates.
