Riassunto

Inspired by his love for literature, the narrator experiences life through the characters of his favourite writers, Shakespeare, Conrad and Melville. Smile chronicles everyday racism as experienced by a young Arab man in Paris today. Smile is a bitter, poignant book that stays in the mind long after you have finished reading it.

L'autore:

Simon Pleasance lives (and works) in the Corbieres, southern Languedoc, writing when not translating, and vice versa.
