Jelloun, Tahar Ben The Sand Child
Harcourt September, 1987 0-15-179287-9 / 9780151792870 1st Edition Hardcover Fine/Fine
A highly collectible, tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. Seemingly cursed to father only daughters in a society that devalues females, an Arab conceals the birth of an eighth girl by proclaiming the child, Ahmed, a son and heir. The tale that follows is a cynical, dreamlike exploration of the roles into which Arab men and women are shaped: shackles to some, yet a clear identity and a well-defined bridge connecting the individual to society. At first Ahmed takes a dark delight in "his" secret, observing to his mother scornfully, "You keep quiet and I give the orders. How ironic! How have you managed not to breathe the slightest seed of discontent into your daughters?" Later a madness descends on "him" and is chronicled in letters, a diary and a continually unwinding story with more than one ending.
