Mansour's eyes / Ryad Girod ; translated from the French by Chris Clarke. by Girod, Ryad, 1970- Transit Books, 2020. Call #: FICTION GIR Subjects Syrians -- Saudi Arabia -- Fiction.   Civilization, Arab -- Fiction.   Violence -- Fiction.   Sufism -- Social aspects -- Fiction.   Saudi Arabia -- Social life and customs -- Fiction.   Saudi Arabia -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781945492365 (trade pbk.) Uniform title:  Yeux de Mansour. English Description:  155 p. ; 21 cm. Notes:  Original title: Les yeux de Mansour. In English, translated from the French. Summary:  "Mansour al-Jazaïri is on his way to his public execution. As his faithful friend Hussein looks on, the crowd calls for his head. Gassouh! Gassouh! It is a time when age-old rituals play out amid skyscrapers and are replayed on smartphone screens in the air-conditioned corridors of shopping malls. Set over the course of a single day in the Saudi Arabian capital, Mansour's Eyes weaves together several historical pasts: the time of Mansour's great-grandfather, the Emir Abdelkader; that of Algerian independence; and that of another Mansour, Mansur Al-Hallaj, a Sufi mystic executed in 922. In this lyrical and ambitious novel, Ryad Girod looks at the post-Arab Spring world as its drive toward modernity threatens to sever its relationship with the ethos of Sufi thought and mysticism."--Provided by publisher.
