"I decided to write for revenge. Against the injustice." | Writer Leïla Slimani | Louisiana Channel

“I decided to write for revenge. Against the injustice. I wanted to show what I had inside me.” Meet Morrocan-French writer Leïla Slimani for a fascinating interview about her life, the world of books and finding a space in between cultures. “We were trapped. We were put in that box – in the eyes of Western people and the eyes of Islamists. We were Muslim, Muslim, Muslim all the time even though we are not.”
