Product details

The Boy's House by Malek Rabah... "People are either kings of a place or mere passersby, and a passerby must seek a place where he can be king. I had accepted what I had and didn't think of going any further." In this one-day novel, set on a Monday and narrated by a young man in his early twenties, unable to be a dutiful son or a good writer, and thus accepting his failure, we experience his attempts to find solace away from home for the child trapped within him and the city he loves. He wanders the streets while the specter of a small tragedy hovers around him.
