Review

"A true journey into the human psyche." - Cairo Magazine * "The desert setting is al-Koni's strength: its expanse, desolation, and mystery are powerfully evoked." - Margaret Obank, Banipal * "Al-Koni's novels are aesthetic renderings of the passions of the desert and of the rich legends and cosmology of his people. An encyclopaedic writer who has digested mythologies of the ancient world and literature of the modern world, al-Koni has both a poetic bent and a mystical inclination." - Ferial Ghazoul, Al Ahram Weekly"
