Rashid Boudjedra, 乇卮賷丿亘賵噩丿乇丞, (born September 5, 1941, A茂n Be茂da, Algeria) prolific and revolutionary Algerian writer whose first novel, La R茅pudiation (1969; The Repudiation), gained notoriety because of its explicit language and frontal assault on Muslim traditionalism in contemporary Algeria. Because of that work, Boudjedra was hailed as the leader of a new movement of experimental fiction.

Boudjedra was given a traditional Muslim upbringing in Algeria and Tunisia, then continued his education in Spain, Algeria, and Paris, where he obtained a degree in philosophy at the Sorbonne. He later taught philosophy in Paris and at Rabat, Morocco, before returning to Algeria and working for the Algerian Bureau of Cinematography.

Boudjedra was given a traditional Muslim upbringing in Algeria and Tunisia, then continued his education in Spain, Algeria, and Paris, where he obtained a degree in philosophy at the Sorbonne. He later taught philosophy in Paris and at Rabat, Morocco, before returning to Algeria and working for the Algerian Bureau of Cinematography.

La R茅pudiation drew upon Boudjedra鈥檚 difficult youth. Conventional values and the smug complacency of the established powers in newly independent Algeria were rejected by Boudjedra, whose unorthodox sexual fury and lyrical savagery defied traditional morality. Boudjedra鈥檚 next novel, L鈥橧nsolation (1972; 鈥淪unstroke鈥�), evoked experimental states of mind, confounding dream with reality. His later works employed different styles. Topographie id茅ale pour une agression caract茅ris茅e (1975; 鈥淚deal Topography for a Specific Aggression鈥�) took as its protagonist an illiterate Berber peasant drawn to the city by the prospect of work; lost in the capital鈥檚 subway, he is bombarded by a host of bewildering scenes and events. In L鈥橢scargot ent锚t茅 (1977; The Obstinate Snail), a petty bureaucrat exposes his mediocre life and values, symbolizing the incompleteness of the Algerian revolution. With Les 1001 Ann茅es de la nostalgie (1979; 鈥�1,001 Years of Nostalgia鈥�), Boudjedra created a satire of an imaginary Saharan village confronted with what he viewed as the newest symbol of contemporary cultural imperialism, an American film company. After writing his first several novels in French, Boudjedra switched to Arabic, often translating his own work into French. He returned to writing in French in the 1990s. His later works include Le D茅mant猫lement (1982; 鈥淭he Dismantling鈥�); Greffe (1984; 鈥淕raft鈥�), a collection of poems; Le D茅sordre des choses (1991; 鈥淭he Disorder of Things鈥�); Les Figuiers de barbarie (2010; The Barbary Figs); and Printemps (2014; 鈥淪pring鈥�). ...more
