No Tears for Culture
The article discusses Algerian writer Hamed Yassine breaking down in tears in front of an almost empty room during a book signing, seeing the scene as a sign of declining readership and people’s growing distance from books as they become absorbed in screens and fast-paced content. The writer holds society, publishers, and the Ministry of Culture responsible for restoring the value of reading, calling for lasting policies and initiatives such as supporting public libraries, encouraging children and young people, and organizing events that bring authors and readers together. It concludes that supporting writers means more than sympathizing with them: it requires creating an environment in which books can reach their audiences and reading can return to everyday life.
