Abstract
In 2014 Yasmina Khadra published the novel Qu’attendent les singes. It depicts a negative image
of Algeria in the first decade of the 21st century – a country ruled by corrupted elites capable of all
crimes. In the same year the writer announced his decision to participate in the presidential election
in Algeria. The aim of this article is to analyze Khadra’s latest crime novel and to ask question about
the links between the political campaign and the promotion of the book.
