I went to Doctor C. once a week for three years. In the course of each session, I felt I was giving him a book: it was always about bonds, separations, meetings, and each time I constructed and deconstructed love's works. My Bad Thoughts is the tale of this confession; a description of the work we need to put in learning to live and to love. This is not about therapy, or about myth making; it is a novel because it is a story told by someone; the story of my family, the story of the best friend, the singer, Hervé Guibert, my two countries. I never left Algeria, I was taken away from it and never said my farewells. I learnt to become in France: I think I was born twice. My Bad Thoughts is also the tale of a return to the country where I left something that grew in my absence and never ceased to terrify me.
