The Village Indian by Abbas Khider
Drawn from the author's experiences as a political prisoner and as a refugee, this novel features Rasul Hamid who describes the eight different ways he fled his home in Iraq and the eight different ways he has failed to find a way home. It is a literary looking glass between two cultures, between two places, and between East and West.
"The author is a master of grotesque satire, navigating elegantly between laughter and tears" -Evi Chatzi, SWR International "The Village Indian is a novel, a fairy story, a tale from 1001 Nights, a short story, and an autobiography all in one."-Jorg Plath, Deutschlandradio Kultur"
Abbas Khider was born in 1973 in Baghdad. Donal McLaughlin is a translator specializing in Swiss fiction.
