Praise for THE SIRENS OF BAGHDAD

“[A]n astonishing novel with overtones of Camus (think of The Fall as well as The Stranger)…. 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.”
