An Arab Melancholia/ Native Agents
Abdellah Taia
A powerful autobiographical novel about a gay Arab man navigating cultural identity through love and writing. Spanning two decades and three countries, the story traces his journey from a lower-class neighborhood in Morocco to Paris and Cairo. Raw and poignant, this book is an incantation and a love letter, and a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Arab world.
