A Girl Called Eel by Ali Zamir
Anguille is a 17-year-old girl who leaves her rock on the archipelago of Comoros to lose herself at sea. Confronted with the pressing immediacy of imminent death, Anguille recounts the story of her whole life in one long, sustained breath, in a series of brief couplets.
Ali Zamir was born on Anjouan in the Comoros. He studied French Literature at the University of Cairo and attained his Master's degree from there in 2010. He has since returned to Anjouan where he has been the Director of Culture and Cooperative Activities for the island since 2014. First published in French as Anguille sous roche by Le Tripode in 2016, A Girl Called Eel is his first novel.
