Reviews
"Compelling. . . . Khadra brings us deep into the hearts and minds of people living in unspeakable mental anguish." -- Los Angeles Times "Khadra's work has been compared to that of his Algerian compatriot Albert Camus, and The Sirens of Baghdad has a similar blaze of heat, the same heavy, insoluble questions. . . . The novel builds to a startling and wrenching finish." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Nerve-wracking. . . . A blunt story line that has real passion behind it. The author's ear for Iraqi despair, fury and violation is keen." -- The New York Times, "Compelling. . . . Khadra brings us deep into the hearts and minds of people living in unspeakable mental anguish." --"Los Angeles Times" "Khadra's work has been compared to that of his Algerian compatriot Albert Camus, and "The Sirens of Baghdad" has a similar blaze of heat, the same heavy, insoluble questions. . . .

The author's ear for Iraqi despair, fury and violation is keen." - The New York Times, Praise for THE SIRENS OF BAGHDAD "[A]n astonishing novel with overtones of Camus (think ofThe Fallas well asTheStranger)…. It's simply admirable…a magisterial work of fiction." -Lire "Like all the great storytellers of history, [Khadra] espouses the contradictions of his characters, who carry in themselves the entirety of the human condition." -Le Point "[T]his major author is establishing himself as one of the consciences of our confused age." -La Croix "The logic of terrorism is taken to a virtually ultimate extent in this bloodcurdling successor to [Khadra's] highly praised novels…perhaps the most frighteningly plausible doomsday scenario yet to appear in fictional treatments of this seemingly insoluble crisis. And if it doesn't scare the hell out of you, you're not paying enough attention." -Kirkus Reviews, Praise for THE SIRENS OF BAGHDAD "[A]n astonishing novel with overtones of Camus (think of "The Fall" as well as "The "Stranger)....
