«Ialo» is the novel by Elias Khoury, published by Club Editor in paperback (318 pages, in Catalan).
Imprisoned and tortured, Ialo must write his life from beginning to end. Ialo, a stutterer as a child, never knew his father and grew up in a dead language, his grandfather's Syriac; the civil war shattered his personality. The writing imposed in his cell becomes for Ialo an opportunity to rebuild and reinvent himself.
Translation from Arabic by Jaume Ferrer Carmona. Part of the El Club dels novel·listes collection, number 23.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in Middle Eastern literature and the effects of war on identity.
