Used book – One-Way Ticket - Goncourt Prize 1994, Didier Van Cauwelaert

Aziz was born in France to unknown parents. Taken in by the Roma of Marseille's northern districts, he grew up with Moroccan nationality, unable to afford a fake French passport. Professionally, he specialized in car radios: he stole and resold them. His life takes a turn when the government decides on a major media operation for repatriation. Aziz is entrusted to a young and idealistic "humanitarian attaché," tasked with "reintegrating him into his roots," who asks him for his birthplace. Aziz's finger randomly points to a blank area of the High Atlas on the map of Morocco. And so the adventure begins...

A humorous and poignant novel that won the Prix Goncourt in 1994.
