"Abdellah Taia is one of the most original and necessary voices in world literature. He writes about Morocco and Arab culture with both intimacy and the sharp perspective of someone rejected by his home. Infidels is among his best novels and depicts a powerful story of mother and son, both at odds with convention. With each novel Taia grows as an artist and expands our knowledge of what it means to be an outsider inside the Muslim world."
David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife
"A moving tale that celebrates the dissonances between Morocco's highly religious exterior and the realities that underpin it."
World Literature Today
"This novel by a Moroccan writer resident in France recounts the brutal life of a young gay Muslim who becomes a jihadi. Brought up by a prostitute in a conservative milieu in Morocco, the boy takes up with an older, European-born Islamic militant and moves to Belgium. Against the charged backdrop of debates about homosexuality's place in Islam and Islam s place in the West, the novel's chief success is its dramatization of the hypocrisies of the pious. Addressing his mother, Taia's protagonist prophesies, Maman, one day you'll be stoned to death by the very same people who creep to the house each night to ask for your forgiveness and a bit of pleasure." --The New Yorker
