    About this ebook

    In the words of one French critic, “Mansour’s Eyes is the novel of the new Arab world.”

    Reviewers have drawn thematic parallels with Camus's The Stranger, though its lyrical style reminds more of Kamel Daoud

    Girod brings together classical Sufi thought, regional history, and the post-Arab Spring world

    This is Girod’s first novel to appear in English
