Books by Kamel Daoud

This new book, by Algerian writer Kamel Daoud , starts with Camus’s The Stranger , and then retells the story from the point of view of the brother of the Arab murder victim.  It’s both commentary on the original and a compelling narrative in its own right.  The Guardian called it “an instant classic and Michiko Kakutani described it as “stunning.” Here is Roger Cohen on the novel .  You can buy it on Amazon here .  Unless your memory is very good, I recommend a refresher on The Stranger first. ...
