Algiers: The Poet's Garden: Stories - Paperback

by Soleiman Adel Guemar (Author)

Soleïman Adel Guémar worked as a freelance investigative journalist in Algeria from 1991 until 2002, when he claimed political asylum in the UK. These short stories address the agonies of contemporary Algeria and the survival, despite everything, of dreams of a different world. Translated by Tom Cheesman, and first appearing in Local Therapy by Hafan Books, 2013, they have a "fighter's edge, a tough beauty."Lisa Appignanesi, Chair of the Royal Society of Literature.
