Who was Mohammed Yacine?

Mohammed Yacine was an Algerian writer who wrote over 20 novels.

He moved to Paris in 1952 and travelled throughout Europe. He wrote in French. Perhaps his best known work is the novel Nadjmu, which deals with four men planning a coup. His other works include the novel Étoile and the play L'histoire du sandales de caoutchouc.

Yacine's work was often about contemporary Franco-Algerian politics. His later plays praising French colonialism were very controversial.
