Started and finished this today, and feel like it will probably end up being the best thing I read this year. Beautifully, powerfully, understatedly written, and reminds me again why I’m so thrilled @andotherstories.bsky.social exists.

The cover to The Sleep Thief by Ibtisam Azem

A passage from the book, which reads:

“The ten-shekel note was wet in Shahin’s fingers. He didn’t say a word. He placed the bundle on the table and left. When he left the cafe, his laughs, which usually waited for him outside, had gone too. I can’t remember his laugh, but stuck in my memory like colocynth are the tears her never let fall.”

"It is less that Belben seeks deliberately to unsettle – I doubt she cares, to be honest – and more that she refuses to censor her imagination, her exacting fiction, in order to protect readers from her experience of life, in all its ugliness and all its glory." Read Rosalind Belben.

Extraordinary book. A symphony of neuroses, fearless in its exploration of their origins both in the often random, jagged associative ‘texts’ of memory and literary fantasy, and in the world of loins, lust, inhibition and viscera-spilling violence. Very highly recommended @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social
