The Algerian literary scene is full of many names in poetry and prose, and it reads daily the titles of new productions in different colors and styles. Hence, getting to the title of poet, writer or novelist in Algeria is easier and faster than getting a plumber or a building or a mechanic with full respect for these professions. Honest. So it is obvious that many questions pass on my mind, including Do the many names and titles reflect the quality of literary works in Algeria? Is the abundance of literary publications and their diversity a healthy phenomenon?

In my own experience with the world of reading in general and literary books in particular, I often visited book fairs and attended concerts and noisy demonstrations for sale by signing poems, novels and storytelling collections, and after reading them from A to Z I found that they bore little literature. Some of the works can be categorized by the level of their owners and the infiltration between the pages of creativity in the field of real literature, may be on the fingers of one hand, commercial titles of the largest versions of their content, catching pockets of readers before their tastes and minds, and perhaps contributed to the spread of this phenomenon is the terrible cultural void And turning the organizations and literary and cultural associations of shops to enter them from the bear and bear.

In addition to the scarcity of academic studies and the absence of a real critic who is not afraid in literature for a proper sleep, and deals with literary work with integrity and objectivity completely, away from self-relations and narrow accounts. The surface of the Algerian literary scene is usually floating in the Algerian literary scene. The phenomena of favoritism, friendship and mutual interests, which have led to the emergence of bacteria, invade literary gatherings and events, scorch the body of literature, exchange titles and attributes, narrators and poets. It can be said that the greed of the Algerian publishing houses in addition to the deterioration of the public taste and the lack of reading lovers, about literature to a career for those who do not have a profession, and make it an open courtyard doors without visa or conditions or passable passage.

In the context of the systematic marginalization experienced by literary talent, Algeria has become deaf and weeping over the ruins of its literature and its pioneers. It is unable to bear new names that are heavy and talented. It can compete with the eastern names and some Algerian names that have reached the age of the media. The literary work remains in dire need of a good reader and a literary critic, so that he will be able to get out of it with his hidden secrets and hidden defects, not for the jerks, marauders, hypocrisy, and arson, or the so-called book signing ceremony. His companion and bear the history of his defeat.

How many verses of poetry did not read a poem and one of his boasts and calls the poet everywhere he solves and travels, does not know that the titles commissioned and not honor to the holder. It should be said that literature in Algeria like other sectors has become a prostitute buried in the arms of mediocrity, and even rise from the ashes required for decades needed for moral and intellectual revolution expelled from the sense of negligence and armies of hackers and strangers of the pioneers of cultural prostitution and literature of the spiral - the opinion of leader Adel Imam in the movie Morgan Ahmed Morgan. Finally, we must know that literature is art, talent, morality or not, and literary work is superior to dealing with it as a commercial commodity sold even if it is poor, because it carries memories, feelings, experiences and human souls wandering among its folds.
