description: The Sudanese author Tayeb Salih recounts the life of a man who cannot remember his name, race, or religion, and speaks a language that no one understands. A group of villagers takes him in, teaches him the Koran, and gives him a name. In an entrancing and luminous poetic style, the author creates a rich cast of characters to describe village rituals and the mysticism of the Arab world. Includes Book One: Dau al-beit and Book Two: Meryoud.
