Specificatii
When the body of a young woman is discovered in the Lane of Many
Heads, an alley in modern-day Mecca, no one will claim it, as they
are all ashamed of her nakedness. As Detective Nasser pursues his
investigation of the case, seemingly all of Mecca chimes
in--including the Lane of Many Heads itself--in this brilliant,
funny, profane, and enigmatic fever dream of a novel by Raja Alem,
the first woman to win the International Prize for Arabic Fiction.
Nasser initially suspects that the dead woman is Aisha, one of the
residents of the Area, and he searches her emails for clues. The
world she paints embraces everything from crime and religious
extremism to the exploitation of foreign workers by a mafia of
building contractors, who are destroying the historic areas of the
city. In stark relief with this grimness is the beauty of her love
letters to her German boyfriend. Another view reveals the city
through the eyes of Yusuf, Aisha's neighbor, increasingly
frustrated by the acceleration pace of change.As gripping as
classic noir, nuanced as a Nabokov novel, and labyrinthine as the
alleys of Mecca itself, this powerful and disturbing work of
fiction masterfully reveals a city and a civilization in all its
contradictions, at once beholden to brutal customs and uneasily
coming to terms with new traditions. Raja Alem's singular The
Dove's Necklace is a virtuosic work of literature that deserves the
world's attention.
