Reviews

Abdelkader Aoudjit's latest work offers the reader a clear, comprehensive introduction to Algerian historiographic metafiction and a detailed analysis of six novels by prominent contemporary authors whose texts yield compelling examples of this engaging literary genre. Well-documented sources, thorough notes, and a careful, systematic presentation of relevant literary theories provide essential contextual background for and thought-provoking critical approaches to the novels for both specialists and non-specialists alike in the field of Algerian literature. -Michelle Beauclair, Seattle Pacific University; Editor of The Francophone World: Cultural Issues and Perspectives; and Author of Albert Camus, Marguerite Duras, and the Legacy of Mourning
