Paperback. Condizione: 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.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On an early autumn morning in 1988, on the outskirts of an unnamed Algerian city, a shepherd stumbles upon the lifeless body of Zaza Zaghouani, a stunning nightclub singer who left her hometown seeking a brighter future. The story is set in 1988 Algeria. It takes place in just forty days, ending as mass protests erupt in the country. In a small town on the edge of the desert, plagued by a locust infestation and a food shortage, teetering on the brink of uprising, the body of Zakia Zaghouani--the singer at the Sahara Hotel--is discovered. Suspicion immediately falls on her lover, who is thrown into prison. The incompetent and greedy Inspector Hamid begins an investigation. So does the defense lawyer of the main suspect. Family, friends, and close ones give their testimonies, finding themselves confronted with their past. Secrets, betrayals, grudges, but also dreams and hopes shed light on their connection to the victim: each person harbors, for one reason or another, the desire to take revenge on her.'Khatibi layers the story with vivid detail. Alexander Elinson's translation from the Arabic feels lively and authentic. Khatibi handles each character with care and skill, unpeeling their personal stories, their web of connections and the grim reality of life in a one-party dictatorship.' Financial Times: Best Thrillers of the Month 'Mr Khatibi's book is cinematic, kaleidoscopic and tragic--a splendid achievement.'--Wall Street Journal'Brilliant.' ---NPR's Fresh Air'Elegant prose and a keen sense of place help bring the narrative to life. It's a solid whodunit that doubles as a captivating look at a country in transition.' Publishers WeeklyKIRKUS STARRED REVIEW: 'In the fall of 1988, shortly before the outbreak of mass youth riots in Algeria over unemployment and a lack of basic goods, a town's collective anger over the murder of a nightclub singer reflects what's to come. An absorbing novel that should broaden Khatibi's following.''Evocative, brooding, and perfectly hard-boiled!'--- CrimeReads'Showcasing Said Khatibi's genuinely compelling, narrative-driven storytelling style, 'The End of the Sahara' is a singularly riveting, suspense-driven read from start to finish. Unreservedly recommended.'---MBR (Midwestern Book Review).…
