Opinions
editBrahim says that he is not looking for the production of influence or supernatural creativity, but rather writing that is close to real things, writing between speech and silence. The beloved speech of the West, and the silence preferred by the East.[2] Brahim also believes that the Arab revolutions are necessary, but they are not sufficient. Rather, there must be revolutions in all fields, including literature, poetry, music, painting, cinema, and that any society that has missed these things from the social landscape scene, instead, terrorism and death.
Brahim Metiba published the novel "I Don’t Have Time to Gossip with You" for Mukund Publications, a novel in which he dealt with a love story and an impossible dialogue between a boy and his mother.

After leaving, he left him a trip address, or in other words, he left some words for him on the table before returning to Algeria "I did not have time to chat with you".
