Sébastien Antoine, Nabil Ben Bella, Sylvain Érambert and Riadh Lakhéchène are four 20 year old boys, who grew like so many others, in the high rise bloks of flats of a city of the great Parisian suburb.
For a year, they participated, with their educator, Joseph Ponthus, in a writing workshop. The objectives of this group were simple: putting words on daily life: school, street, the police, love, prison, parents, religion, work… Putting their lives into writing was no small thing for these boys whom the Media, who so often speak in their name, call the "suburban youth."
This is the diary of this writing process, a tapestry of voices and different types of texts – prison journal, letters to a judge, childhood memories…Beyond a chronicle of the city by its inhabitants, the purpose of this book is to raise issues such as the difficulty of transcribing words into writing, how to no longer fear the pen. A reflection on writing as resistance.
