Paperback. Condition: New. On an early autumn morning in 1988, on the outskirts of an unnamed Algerian city, a local shepherd stumbles across the dead body of Zakia Zaghouani, a beautiful nightclub singer who ran away from her hometown and family, seeking a brighter future. Incompetent and corrupt Inspector Hamid is perhaps the…least likely to find the murderer. On their own, none of Khatibi's characters can help us see and solve the crime. For that, we need a mosaic of many voices: Noura, the lawyer who represents Zakia's fiance?; Ibrahim, who runs the VHS rental shop and whose mother is a cleaning lady at the hotel where Zakia worked; Kamal, the front-desk clerk at the hotel; Maimoun, the hotel's owner; the Golden Sheikha, a rival singer; Zakia's fiance?, Bashir; and more. Most of them are searching not just for Zakia's killer, but for the stories of other ghosts flitting through their city, the ghosts of abused and murdered women; the ghosts of fathers who died during the country's war for independence; and the ghosts of Algeria's long colonial period.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sarajevo Firewood, which was shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF) award in 2020, explores the legacy of the recent histories of two countries - Algeria and Bosnia-Herzegovina - both of which experienced traumatic, and ultimately futile, civil wars in the 1990s. The novel na…rrates the lives of two main characters, with their friends and families: Salim, an Algerian journalist, and Ivana, a young Bosnian woman, both of whom have fled the destruction and hatred of their own countries to try to build a new life in Slovenia. As Ivana pursues her goal of writing her 'dream play', Khatibi's novel brings to life in fictional form the memories and experiences of the countless ordinary people who survived the atrocities linking the two countries. As such, it represents both a lasting memorial to the thousands of dead and 'disappeared' of the two countries' civil conflicts, but also a powerful and novel exploration of the experience of exile to which so many have been subjected over the last few decades.
