description: Muslim: A Novel is a genre-bending poetic reflection on what it means to be Muslim from one of France's leading writers. In this novel the second in a trilogy Rahmani's narrator contemplates the loss of her native language and her imprisonment and exile for being Muslim woven together in an exploration of the political and personal relationship of language within the fraught history of Islam. Drawing inspiration from the oral histories of her native Berber language the Koran and French children's tales Rahmani combines fiction and lyric essay in to tell an important story both powerful and visionary of identity persecution and violence.
