Ages of Daniel in the City of Threads

AR16b-G1927

  • Language : Arabic
  • Subject : Novels
  • Author : Ahmad Abdulatif
  • ISBN : 9789774906527
  • Year : 2022

A dystopic allegory about the apocalypse, set in a nameless city of threads, or dolls, which might be a macabre projection of Cairo. The novel has a unique narrative and linguistic style, with frequent repeated refrains and a lack of punctuation when one of the characters speaks, reinforcing its uncanny, nightmarish quality. Longlisted for the 2023 International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF).
