Chantal KIOMBO
Cette narration ne se limite pas qu’à l’expérience personnelle de Laurentine, mais elle va au-delà, et explore des thèmes divers tels que la chasteté, le goût d’aventure, la foi sur notre chemin de vie.... tout en mettant en exergue l’épouvantable histoire de cette jeune religieuse kidnappée de sa vie consacrée et emmenée vers une vie de maternité, allant vers les grandes villes tout en abandonnant les siens.

Chris KIOKA
Cet ouvrage traite de thématiques riches, bien que déjà explorées depuis le premier verbe qui marqua l’existence de la poésie. Toutefois, à travers ses écrits, l’auteur les donne un nouveau souffle, une nouvelle âme en les actualisant. Car il est dit que le poète n’est pas simplement un pondeur des mots mais, il doit être ses mots.

Chantal FAIDA
… au fil des années, j’ai réalisé que la réussite en politique est le fruit d’une combinaison complexe de facteurs : talent, détermination, réseau, soutien, mais aussi une certaine dose de chance.
Ce livre retrace non seulement mon parcours semé d’embûches, mais aussi de victoires ; il vise à inspirer d’autres femmes à briser le silence et à s’engager pour un changement positif. En sus, il se présente aussi comme un instrument de plaidoyer, pour la mise en œuvre des textes règlementaires en matière de parité en vue d’atteindre à l’horizon 2030, un pourcentage critique des femmes dans les fonctions nominatives et électives vitales.

Kamel RIAHI
In this collection of private diaries, Kamel Riahi takes us behind the scenes of writing to spy on the work of an essayist, showing how the idea for an article is born through an enjoyable oscillation between diaries, opinion pieces, and cultural essays that emerge from the everyday.
The reader delves into the writer’s mind, experiencing a unique writing journey in a unique time, when human movement came to a halt and death stood at every door. It was then that people began to rediscover themselves by posing the age-old question —Who are we?— as it had never been asked before.
Kamel Riahi is a Tunisian novelist and journalist. He holds advanced degrees in the critique of Arabic literary fiction. He has worked as a correspondent for numerous magazines and websites and has hosted several television programs. He has received multiple awards, including the Golden Comar Award for Best Tunisian Novel in 2007 and the Short Story Prize in Cairo in 2005. His works have been translated into French, Italian, English, Hebrew, and Portuguese.

Mamdouh FARAJ AL-NABI
The Rhetoric of Black Writing is a bold critical journey through the turbulent paths of writing, where imagination takes the lead, desire dictates, and the boundaries of authority intersect with the dilemmas of cultural censorship. The book invites the reader to reclaim the experience of writing as a tool of resistance and as a means to shape an alternative discourse to the dominant one.
Through this work, Mamdouh Faraj Al-Nabi offers a balanced critical reading that serves as a “narrative artery,” pumping fresh perspectives into the heart of literary discourse without dissolving into rigid theories or recycled slogans. It is a discourse grounded in critical knowledge, reshaping concepts from within and building bridges between the text and the reader in search of an authentic voice.
Mamdouh Faraj Al-Nabi is an Egyptian academic and literary critic who writes for arab newspapers and both peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed journals. He has received numerous literary awards in the field of literary criticism, including the Sharjah Award, the Katara Award for Critical Studies, and the Taha Hussein Award. His notable works include The Autobiographical Novel in Egypt, Naguib Mahfouz: Memory and Forgetting, and Recovering Taha Hussein.

Diary Studies and Literary Criticism
Ahmed Abdel HALIM
Ahmed Abdel Halim’s 1995 novel The Follower and Suleiman is a tense, ironic narrative that portrays exile not as freedom but as another prison. The story follows a young Egyptian political prisoner who escapes to Beirut, redefining his bond with homeland through memories of childhood and adolescence.
At its core, the novel is about rejection —of prison, exile, and even belonging— yet this rejection paradoxically becomes a form of belonging. Abdel Halim ties the body to power, weakness, and resistance, stripping it of love.
For the marginalized, love is unreachable; anger, rebellion, and insult take its place. The novel reflects fractured consciousness, where rejection and yearning coexist in exile’s suffocating space.
Ahmed Abdel Halim is an Egyptian writer, researcher, and political activist, born in Damietta in 1995. His work focuses on political sociology, the body and its relationship to authoritarianism, and punitive policies in Egyptian prisons.

blast: blast effect, shock wave, radical attack.
blast: that which germinates, takes root, grows, parasitises, develops, engenders.
Blast is committed to publishing political essays and creative writing that explore the interconnection between oppression and struggle, opening up new perspectives from the field of anti-racist, feminist, queer and anarchist resistance.
As committed readers who are passionate and concerned about these issues, we are committed to literature that offers perspectives on society, its representations, its mechanisms of domination and the revolts it sees emerging; literature that is a voice, aware of the position from which it speaks, illuminating its context as much as it is illuminated by it. And also literature that is memory and opening, echoes of what has passed, attentively listening to what is happening and sketching out what might be. Literature that never becomes a pretext; it remains free, alive, autonomous. blast publishes novels, poetry, essays and hybrid forms that feed into committed analysis while offering incisive writing that radically questions reflexes and norms as well as language itself.
The text does not exist alone: we want blast to be part of a dynamic that strengthens solidarity and independence within the world of books. For example, we are continuing to reflect on the amount and duration of authors’ rights and do not imagine working without bookshops, which are places of emulation and circulation of books and ideas that are still necessary today.
AL BAYLAC
Au commencement, des escapades dans les champs de colza et la découverte tranquille du corps ; puis le corps vu, projeté, contraint et assigné par d’autres. Comment déconstruire l’hétéronormativité pour parvenir à être soi ? Roman de traversée, Colza s’installe dans les interstices : entre campagne et ville, entre construction d’une identité queer et misogynie intériorisée, entre fantasmagories et amours réelles. Le corps gouine s’élabore au fil de ce périple contre les injonctions patriarcales et sexistes. Ce roman est le récit du trouble : celui de Colza (personnage éponyme), qui a trouvé la liberté de s’inventer et d’écrire sa propre histoire au-delà des normes binaires.

Douce DIBONDO
infra/seum est la colère mise en poésie. Comment dire la rage qui nous habite face aux violences structurant nos vies et intimités ? Comment exprimer les parts monstrueuses qui habitent nos ombres ? Par un travail de la langue comme provocation, de la torsion du vocabulaire et de l’espace, l’autrice explore les continents du seum et ce qu’il fait à nos corps et à nos êtres. La poésie devient un miroir cru, ambivalent et précis d’un regard posé sur les mondes. À l’inverse d’une analyse binaire, Douce Dibondo navigue la complexité des rapports sociaux et la façon dont ils s’imprègnent des dominations. Par là, elle élabore une poésie dangereuse contre les illusions du monde et notre propre violence.

Laurène MARX
Je vis dans une maison qui n’existe pas est un écho de la dissociation, un texte à trous comme peuvent l’être nos états mentaux. Qui décide de la folie des marginaux·ales ? Des monstres ? Dans une pièce peuplée de figures symboliques, Laurène Marx décrit ce que cela fait d’appartenir à d’autres avant de s’appartenir. C’est aussi l’histoire d’une enfance violentée sur laquelle il manque les mots. Dans ce monologue, l’autrice porte la terreur et la solitude autant que l’élan de vivre et de se créer un espace où l’altérité est possible. Ce texte dit enfin la lutte contre l’enfermement dans une maladie, dans un genre ou dans un lieu, remplacé par une échappée qui contrecarre les dynamiques d’oppression et d’assignation.

Shih-Li KOW
This cross-genre collection of twenty-five short stories and flash fiction pieces explores relationships and periods of transition.
A mother questions the limits of her responsibility to her husband and son. A man operates a leaf blower during Chinese New Year, leading to tragic consequences. In speculative stories, a demolition worker dreams of clean air while Kuala Lumpur decays, and a cooking robot attempts to perfect its fried rice for a grieving family.
These characters navigate displacement and uncertainties in pursuit of better lives.
By the award-winning author of Ripples and Other Stories and the novel The Sum of Our Follies, this new collection boldly imagines scenarios we can only dream of – while subtly tethering us to Malaysian realities we can only sigh at.
Shih-Li Kow is the author of two short story collections and a novel. Ripples and Other Stories was shortlisted for the 2009 Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award.

Da ejemplos concretos de empresas y sectores que lo aplican (en las memorias de sostenibilidad, en los bancos, en el sector energético, la moda o en el del transporte marítimo y aéreo, etc.).

This bilingual book in Portuguese and eMakwa isn’t about princesses, fairies, witches, monsters, talking animals, superheroes or folklore legends. Nor does the story take place in some faraway kingdom or centuries ago. Cora is a child like any other and lives in the real world just like the rest of us. She goes to school, has friends, a family and loves to play. But Cora is left intrigued by what her friend Miriam said: “You’d better wear a headband.” The thread of this story is as wavy has the child’s hair.

Vaso VEKRI
“Back street” is the first book of Vaso Vekri. A crime fiction novel. With heroes like human islands, moving in the transitions of life. The truth is not always what it seems. Or, rather, the truth is before us, but we do not see it. A love story beyond death unfolds in the book.
“They killed him at noon, on the street. They raked him in front of the crowd and nobody knows anything”. A prisoner is murdered during one of his leaves. And his psychiatrist partner starts a journey with the motorbike, so she could see, remember, understand... What can the task assigned to her have to do with the murder? And how clean is the Professor of Psychiatry? How much does the infamous - inside and outside of prison - Black know? In a parallel coming-of-age journey, a young musician, struggling with his personal demons, will come face to face with dangerous secrets.
Chrysoula GEORGOULA
The book “Call me Stratos” is the first novel by Chrysoula Georgoula. Through the actions and memories of the main protagonist, Greece is described during the prosperity of the Olympic Games, but also after the economic crisis. Questions are posed such as: Are violence, discrimination and racism a consequence of the economic crisis or are they components of established social life, who find the opportunity to emerge on the occasion of the situation? Is a reversal of the tide possible, or will our society sooner or later be forced to relive its history?
After his dramatic divorce and at the age of forty-two, Stratos Achtidis returns to his family home to live with his mother and his also divorced brother. Humiliated and cut off from family and friends, he drinks uncontrollably and reminisces about the past: his construction work, his marriage to Sotiria and their children, the carefree years of fake wealth and parties, his extramarital affair and the end of it, the post-Olympic years of unemployment and his alcohol addiction, the privately owned Tsunami car wash and financial ruin, and finally his involvement with the “pure-blooded Greeks”.

Cet ouvrage traite de thématiques riches, bien que déjà explorées depuis le premier verbe qui marqua l’existence de la poésie. Toutefois, à travers ses écrits, l’auteur les donne un nouveau souffle, une nouvelle âme en les actualisant. Car il est dit que le poète n’est pas simplement un pondeur des mots mais, il doit être ses mots.

… au fil des années, j’ai réalisé que la réussite en politique est le fruit d’une combinaison complexe de facteurs : talent, détermination, réseau, soutien, mais aussi une certaine dose de chance.
Ce livre retrace non seulement mon parcours semé d’embûches, mais aussi de victoires ; il vise à inspirer d’autres femmes à briser le silence et à s’engager pour un changement positif. En sus, il se présente aussi comme un instrument de plaidoyer, pour la mise en œuvre des textes règlementaires en matière de parité en vue d’atteindre à l’horizon 2030, un pourcentage critique des femmes dans les fonctions nominatives et électives vitales.

Kamel RIAHI
In this collection of private diaries, Kamel Riahi takes us behind the scenes of writing to spy on the work of an essayist, showing how the idea for an article is born through an enjoyable oscillation between diaries, opinion pieces, and cultural essays that emerge from the everyday.
The reader delves into the writer’s mind, experiencing a unique writing journey in a unique time, when human movement came to a halt and death stood at every door. It was then that people began to rediscover themselves by posing the age-old question —Who are we?— as it had never been asked before.
Kamel Riahi is a Tunisian novelist and journalist. He holds advanced degrees in the critique of Arabic literary fiction. He has worked as a correspondent for numerous magazines and websites and has hosted several television programs. He has received multiple awards, including the Golden Comar Award for Best Tunisian Novel in 2007 and the Short Story Prize in Cairo in 2005. His works have been translated into French, Italian, English, Hebrew, and Portuguese.

Mamdouh FARAJ AL-NABI
The Rhetoric of Black Writing is a bold critical journey through the turbulent paths of writing, where imagination takes the lead, desire dictates, and the boundaries of authority intersect with the dilemmas of cultural censorship. The book invites the reader to reclaim the experience of writing as a tool of resistance and as a means to shape an alternative discourse to the dominant one.
Through this work, Mamdouh Faraj Al-Nabi offers a balanced critical reading that serves as a “narrative artery,” pumping fresh perspectives into the heart of literary discourse without dissolving into rigid theories or recycled slogans. It is a discourse grounded in critical knowledge, reshaping concepts from within and building bridges between the text and the reader in search of an authentic voice.
Mamdouh Faraj Al-Nabi is an Egyptian academic and literary critic who writes for arab newspapers and both peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed journals. He has received numerous literary awards in the field of literary criticism, including the Sharjah Award, the Katara Award for Critical Studies, and the Taha Hussein Award. His notable works include The Autobiographical Novel in Egypt, Naguib Mahfouz: Memory and Forgetting, and Recovering Taha Hussein.

Diary Studies and Literary Criticism
Ahmed Abdel HALIM
Ahmed Abdel Halim’s 1995 novel The Follower and Suleiman is a tense, ironic narrative that portrays exile not as freedom but as another prison. The story follows a young Egyptian political prisoner who escapes to Beirut, redefining his bond with homeland through memories of childhood and adolescence.
At its core, the novel is about rejection —of prison, exile, and even belonging— yet this rejection paradoxically becomes a form of belonging. Abdel Halim ties the body to power, weakness, and resistance, stripping it of love.
For the marginalized, love is unreachable; anger, rebellion, and insult take its place. The novel reflects fractured consciousness, where rejection and yearning coexist in exile’s suffocating space.
Ahmed Abdel Halim is an Egyptian writer, researcher, and political activist, born in Damietta in 1995. His work focuses on political sociology, the body and its relationship to authoritarianism, and punitive policies in Egyptian prisons.

blast: blast effect, shock wave, radical attack.
blast: that which germinates, takes root, grows, parasitises, develops, engenders.
Blast is committed to publishing political essays and creative writing that explore the interconnection between oppression and struggle, opening up new perspectives from the field of anti-racist, feminist, queer and anarchist resistance.
As committed readers who are passionate and concerned about these issues, we are committed to literature that offers perspectives on society, its representations, its mechanisms of domination and the revolts it sees emerging; literature that is a voice, aware of the position from which it speaks, illuminating its context as much as it is illuminated by it. And also literature that is memory and opening, echoes of what has passed, attentively listening to what is happening and sketching out what might be. Literature that never becomes a pretext; it remains free, alive, autonomous. blast publishes novels, poetry, essays and hybrid forms that feed into committed analysis while offering incisive writing that radically questions reflexes and norms as well as language itself.
The text does not exist alone: we want blast to be part of a dynamic that strengthens solidarity and independence within the world of books. For example, we are continuing to reflect on the amount and duration of authors’ rights and do not imagine working without bookshops, which are places of emulation and circulation of books and ideas that are still necessary today.

Au commencement, des escapades dans les champs de colza et la découverte tranquille du corps ; puis le corps vu, projeté, contraint et assigné par d’autres. Comment déconstruire l’hétéronormativité pour parvenir à être soi ? Roman de traversée, Colza s’installe dans les interstices : entre campagne et ville, entre construction d’une identité queer et misogynie intériorisée, entre fantasmagories et amours réelles. Le corps gouine s’élabore au fil de ce périple contre les injonctions patriarcales et sexistes. Ce roman est le récit du trouble : celui de Colza (personnage éponyme), qui a trouvé la liberté de s’inventer et d’écrire sa propre histoire au-delà des normes binaires.

Douce DIBONDO
infra/seum est la colère mise en poésie. Comment dire la rage qui nous habite face aux violences structurant nos vies et intimités ? Comment exprimer les parts monstrueuses qui habitent nos ombres ? Par un travail de la langue comme provocation, de la torsion du vocabulaire et de l’espace, l’autrice explore les continents du seum et ce qu’il fait à nos corps et à nos êtres. La poésie devient un miroir cru, ambivalent et précis d’un regard posé sur les mondes. À l’inverse d’une analyse binaire, Douce Dibondo navigue la complexité des rapports sociaux et la façon dont ils s’imprègnent des dominations. Par là, elle élabore une poésie dangereuse contre les illusions du monde et notre propre violence.

Je vis dans une maison qui n’existe pas est un écho de la dissociation, un texte à trous comme peuvent l’être nos états mentaux. Qui décide de la folie des marginaux·ales ? Des monstres ? Dans une pièce peuplée de figures symboliques, Laurène Marx décrit ce que cela fait d’appartenir à d’autres avant de s’appartenir. C’est aussi l’histoire d’une enfance violentée sur laquelle il manque les mots. Dans ce monologue, l’autrice porte la terreur et la solitude autant que l’élan de vivre et de se créer un espace où l’altérité est possible. Ce texte dit enfin la lutte contre l’enfermement dans une maladie, dans un genre ou dans un lieu, remplacé par une échappée qui contrecarre les dynamiques d’oppression et d’assignation.

Shih-Li KOW
This cross-genre collection of twenty-five short stories and flash fiction pieces explores relationships and periods of transition.
A mother questions the limits of her responsibility to her husband and son. A man operates a leaf blower during Chinese New Year, leading to tragic consequences. In speculative stories, a demolition worker dreams of clean air while Kuala Lumpur decays, and a cooking robot attempts to perfect its fried rice for a grieving family.
These characters navigate displacement and uncertainties in pursuit of better lives.
By the award-winning author of Ripples and Other Stories and the novel The Sum of Our Follies, this new collection boldly imagines scenarios we can only dream of – while subtly tethering us to Malaysian realities we can only sigh at.
Shih-Li Kow is the author of two short story collections and a novel. Ripples and Other Stories was shortlisted for the 2009 Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award.

Da ejemplos concretos de empresas y sectores que lo aplican (en las memorias de sostenibilidad, en los bancos, en el sector energético, la moda o en el del transporte marítimo y aéreo, etc.). Aborda sus límites y concluye con un decálogo de herramientas para combatirlo.

This bilingual book in Portuguese and eMakwa isn’t about princesses, fairies, witches, monsters, talking animals, superheroes or folklore legends. Nor does the story take place in some faraway kingdom or centuries ago. Cora is a child like any other and lives in the real world just like the rest of us. She goes to school, has friends, a family and loves to play. But Cora is left intrigued by what her friend Miriam said: “You’d better wear a headband.” The thread of this story is as wavy has the child’s hair.

Vaso VEKRI
“Back street” is the first book of Vaso Vekri. A crime fiction novel. With heroes like human islands, moving in the transitions of life. The truth is not always what it seems. Or, rather, the truth is before us, but we do not see it. A love story beyond death unfolds in the book.
“They killed him at noon, on the street. They raked him in front of the crowd and nobody knows anything”. A prisoner is murdered during one of his leaves. And his psychiatrist partner starts a journey with the motorbike, so she could see, remember, understand... What can the task assigned to her have to do with the murder? And how clean is the Professor of Psychiatry? How much does the infamous - inside and outside of prison - Black know? In a parallel coming-of-age journey, a young musician, struggling with his personal demons, will come face to face with dangerous secrets.
Chrysoula GEORGOULA
The book “Call me Stratos” is the first novel by Chrysoula Georgoula. Through the actions and memories of the main protagonist, Greece is described during the prosperity of the Olympic Games, but also after the economic crisis. Questions are posed such as: Are violence, discrimination and racism a consequence of the economic crisis or are they components of established social life, who find the opportunity to emerge on the occasion of the situation? Is a reversal of the tide possible, or will our society sooner or later be forced to relive its history?
After his dramatic divorce and at the age of forty-two, Stratos Achtidis returns to his family home to live with his mother and his also divorced brother. Humiliated and cut off from family and friends, he drinks uncontrollably and reminisces about the past: his construction work, his marriage to Sotiria and their children, the carefree years of fake wealth and parties, his extramarital affair and the end of it, the post-Olympic years of unemployment and his alcohol addiction, the privately owned Tsunami car wash and financial ruin, and finally his involvement with the “pure-blooded Greeks”.
