Description
Book SynopsisSuch was the battle that raged between Cousin K and me: good done badly; evil done well."" And such is the twisted logic of good and bad, right and wrong, knitted into this novella by one of the most powerful voices to emerge from North Africa in our time.
Trade ReviewPraise for the French edition:
“Cousin K is a highly polished psychological novel embodying an immense dose of mute violence. With a kind of enraged obstinacy, Yasmina Khadra applies his lapidary style to the exploration of some of the human soul’s muddiest depths. Here as elsewhere in his work, the inner life, as alienated as it might be, never takes leave of worldly realities. Khadra continues to address us in one of the very strongest voices emanating from North Africa today.”—Jean-Claude Lebrun, L’Humanité
"Tense and lyrical."—
Publishers Weekly"
Cousin K may be a small book but it is a giant of a literary work."—Steve Emmett,
New York Journal of Books
