Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade by Assia Djebar
4.0
Read for Contemporary Postcolonial Literature.
There were passages of this book that completely blew my mind because they were so beautifully written. Exploring themes of women, violence, war, memory and writing, Djebar suggests what it means to tell a traumatic story, to create an archive and to listen to the experiences of everyday citizens.
