Mohand-Said Ait-Taleb is an enigma. Living in France but
ravaged by memories of the war in Algeria, he has withdrawn into his own world,
away from his wife and children. When his son Xavier discovers articles by
Albert Camus describing the appalling conditions his father grew up in, he
starts to piece together the story of his life. Xavier retraces the steps of this dignified, illiterate and
strong-willed man: from Kabylia - where starving children, like Mohand-Said,
fought with dogs for scraps - to the metal factory in Normandy, where his
father would spend the rest of his days, consumed with providing for his
family. It is there that Xavier discovers his love of books. When he breaks
with conservative family traditions and confesses his attraction to men, Xavier
will find which doors slam closed and which will open. A Man With No Title is a beautiful and moving tribute
to a father, to the immigrants condemned to undertake the hardest work for
meagre reward, and to the power of literature to transcend class.
