Recenzii

Al-Koni's descriptive powers and the urgency of his narrative make Gold Dust [italic] a gripping, moving tale that sweeps the reader on towards its tragic conclusion.
Imagine Cormac McCarthy's savage lyricism in a Paul Bowles desert landscape and you begin to enter the bleakly beautiful world of this mesmerising, fable-like novel.
Its lyrical prose exudes the unique breath of desert life and a mystical taste of the afterlife.
A magnificent novelist.
One of the Arab world's most innovative novelists.
