Translated to Arabic, «L'insomnie» (Insomnia) a novel by acclaimed Moroccan writer Tahar Ben Jelloun, with translation of Antoine Sarkis. A great insomniac, a screenwriter from Tangier discovers that to finally sleep well he has to kill someone. His mother will be his first victim. Alas, over time, the effect fades... It must recur. The screenwriter turns into a hired sleeper. Incognito, he commits crimes that he dreams of as perfect as in the cinema. The more important his victim, the more he sleeps. And that's climbing. Will he be able to permanently overcome insomnia? Nothing is less sure. A scenario error, and everything can change.
