Book Description | The Curse of the Foreigner
This novel devoured me in three days. How can this amount of knowledge, information, documents and history become the building blocks of an extremely wonderful artistic structure?
It is Wael Al-Samri's first novel, but I felt that he had written ten novels before it, its subject is new and he discovered it with real documents, and the novel moves between two worlds in an artistic structure that you will not tire of his innovations in storytelling, scenery or language that make you not let the novel go from your hand despite its large size. |
