Description:
This compelling novel is Allouache’s adaptation of his 1993 film of the same name. The cinematic quality of the storyline brings to life the characters of this poor neighborhood of contemporary Algiers. Through his easy narrative, readers are drawn into the lives and experiences of the neighborhood’s residents, including young Islamic militants, disillusioned and rebellious youth, and sheltered women. Through these characters, Allouache introduces us to some of the social, economic, and religious issues facing Algerians today. |
