Description

Translated by Marjolijn de Jager & David Kelley A hymn to friendship and the enduring power of language, [Algerian White] is also a requiem for a nation's unfinished literature' - New York Times 'Assia Djebar...has given weeping its words and longing its lyrics' - World Literature Today Weaving a tapestry of the epic and bloody ongoing struggle in Algeria between Islamic fundamentalism and the post-colonial civil society, Djebar describes with unerring accuracy and a ghostly presence the lives and deaths of those writers and intellectuals whose contributions were cut short.'
