Summary/Abstract: L’année de tous les apprentissages (L’Harmattan, 2015) is a novel which denounces, without falling in the free paroxystic virulence, the skids of a suffering society from a deplorable decay of the values and from a blatant symptomatic schizophrenia. This societal drift affects exactly the debated relation man/woman through types of women and men representing relationships that are regulated by the male domination, profi and disparity. The novelist stigmatizes the persistance of a sexist and calcified mentality, feeding on an androcentric unconscious at the origin of symbolic violence, which revolts Wahid, the central figure of the novel.
