Sheikh Abdelmajid Boularwah embarks on a quest to find distant relatives, hoping they can assist him in defrauding the new Communist government. He navigates through the labyrinth of back alleys and memories, facing the challenges of a rapidly changing society and confronting the demons of his past. The Earthquake, written in the early 1970s by pioneering novelist Tahir Wattar, offers a surrealist vision of post-colonial Algeria, a society in chaos and a world turned upside down. This classic work presciently foretells the dreadful events that would later besiege the country.
