'The Little Impostor' - by Fouad Laroui
This season Radio Books highlights work from the diverse immigrant community of the Netherlands and Belgium. Fouad Laroui was born in Morocco, attended university in Paris and now teaches and writes in Amsterdam.
Identity is an important theme in Laroui's work and certainly in his Radio Books story. At a French Lyceum in Casablanca, all the boys are going home for Christmas holidays except Mehdi. What must he do to experience a French-style family Christmas?
