8, Rue Crochard. This is the title of the latest book by Henri Touitou, which has just been published by L’Ucetain, in Île-de-France. The work describes the author’s emotions – and especially those of his father – when leaving Algeria for France. This exile will remain a gaping wound in his heart, and although he has returned to Algeria a few times, Henri Touitou remains inconsolate from Crochard Street in Biskra, where he took his first steps. Explanations.
