Lakiba, belcourt, algiers, this is the exact neighborhood where Albert Camus grew up.
I live in Algiers, and I’ve always known that Albert Camus grew up in Belcourt. He even writes about it in his essay Summer in Algiers.
I asked some locals in Belcourt if they knew about him. A few older men said they did, and one even showed me the exact building where he lived. It’s strange to think that one of the greatest writers grew up right here in this neighborhood.
