Description
Short of inspiration and money, Nicolas Wild expatriates in 2005 for a contract abroad. To him the good life? Not sure, because he left for Afghanistan...In Kabul, he discovers a country in reconstruction, but still in a latent war. In spite of the insecurity, he stays and the projects follow one another. If he starts with a comic strip about the Afghan constitution, he follows with a campaign for the army and then another one against opium.
Within the small communication company that employs him, there is no lack of ideological questions...
As in any autobiography, one becomes attached to the narrator and his adventures. In the case of Nicolas Wild, we often laugh, but we also discover with fright his Afghan daily life. The release of the complete two volumes of Kabul Disco is therefore good news, even more so when we discover that it is accompanied by a sequel, Kabul Requiem.
We meet Sean Langan, an English reporter kidnapped by the Taliban in 2008. Who could tell it better than Wild, in a story carried by Sean's strength and Anglo-Saxon humor?
