About the Author

Boualem Sansal is the Arab world’s most courageous and controversial novelist. His first novel to appear in English (An Unfinished Business/The German Mujahid, Bloomsbury/Europa) was the first work of fiction by an Arab writer to acknowledge the Holocaust in print. He started writing novels at the age of 50, shortly after retiring as a high-ranking official in the Algerian government. He was awarded the prestigious Prix du Roman Arabe in 2012, and the German Peace Prize in 2011.

Reviews

Praise for 2084: The End of the World "2084 is a powerful novel that celebrates resistance."
--The Guardian ""A powerful satire on an Islamist dictatorship."
--The Spectator "Sharply satiric...it's worthwhile watching Sansal dig fiercely into the essence of the all-controlling religious belief he roundly condemns."
--Library Journal "Alison Anderson's deft and intelligent translation of 2084 helps to overcome such binary thinking by conveying Sansal's abhorrence of a system that controls people's minds, while explaining that the religion was not originially evil but has been corrupted. A moving and cautionary story."
--Kate Webb, The Times Literary Supplement "2084 is a rare, powerful book, at the intersection of fable and lampoon,
of satire and science fiction."
--Lire

"The story is powerful, the humor, devastating . . . 2084 is an exceptional book."
--Télérama

"Boualem Sansal is of the great voices of North Africa."
--Le Monde Cultures et Idées

"2084 is noir fiction à la Orwell."
--Le Monde "Sansal is our guide into absurdity and out of it, the perfect guide through the fear and laughter we expend reading 2084."
--The Rain Taxi Review
