Book Synopsis


Trade Review
[Bab el-Oued] is not simply the story of the Bab el-Oued district, but also the story of contemporary postcolonial Algeria.... Algeria's national and cultural problems are translated in this novel into the daily feelings and concerns of its complex characters."—Sarra Tlili, MESA Bulletin

"Deftly surveys the embattled populace of a poor section of Algiers ruled by a platitudinous and ingenuous 'Imam' and rife with both sexual tension and militant Islamic political activity."—Kirkus Reviews
