Preceding his appearance at Jewish Book Week, The Arab- Israeli Book Review invites you to explore Boualem Sansal’s novel An Unfinished Business. Set in the 1990s, between civil-war Algeria and run-down Paris suburbs festering with Islamist recruitment drives, An Unfinished Business is in part an attempt to rediscover the meaning of the Holocaust for a generation largely ignorant of it.
Boualem Sansal published his first novel at the age of 50 and is a hugely popular author in France. Since 2006, when he wrote an essay entitled ‘Poste Restante Algeria: An Open Letter to My Compatriots in Anger’, his books have been banned there. This is his first novel to be translated into English, and is a humane, searching and moving work.
Join writer and lecturer Ariel Kahn, together with celebrated Palestinian novelist Samir El-Youssef, for what promises to be a stimulating discussion. There is no need to read the book in advance, just come and enjoy.
