More Description

This narrative story is told by Sharif Turab, a middle-aged man living in exile in France from an unnamed North East African country, a member of the first generation after African independence to go to the continent as ambassadors and ministers, an opening of the gates toward contact with the ideas and lifestyles of Europe. In limbo, as a wave toward returning to Islamic tradition instills suspicion toward this individualism, Turab tries to make some sense of his life as everything that he believes in begins to crumble. Wings of Dust is a distinctive mixture of intensity and anarchic movement, humorous and moving.
