I think most of this went way over my head. It seemed to be saying a lot about the environment, colonialism, and religion, among other meaty topics (no pun intended regarding the meat components of this book) but I wasn't certain that I caught a lot of the nuance. I need to stew over this one for a while and learn more about the cultural context to appreciate it a little more. Definitely left me thinking hard in a good way though."I tell you. Be patient. How can you live in the desert without patience? The man who was never granted its contentment will never be happy there. I tell you. Use patience and cunning, they're the secrets of the desert...."Asouf is a Bedouin living alone with his sheep in the cave-laden mountains of Libya. This novel tells his story and also stories of several surrounding characters, while also dipping into magical realism and mysticism.There is a fair amount of description of gazelles vs.
Bummer. I really wanted to like this Libyan story. There is so much material for a great novel here, but the presentation about drove me up the wall. Mainly the story is told by delving into background and motivation through flashback. The digressions are, finally, the true substance of the book, interrupting any natural momentum that might otherwise have accrued. There is much violation of the show-dont-tell principle, a few unlikely coincidences, and some truly gratuitous gore.
The desert is a true treasurefor him who seeks refugefrom men and the evil of men.In it is contentment,In it is death and all you seek.This muwwal, a traditional song, performed by the Sufis in the community at Uwaynat is quoted by Asoufs father in Ibrahim al-Konis novel The Bleeding of the Stone. And this muwwal seems indeed to express perfectly what the desert means to the heros father.Asouf grows up somewhere in the Libyan desert, living the traditional life of Bedouins who are the only
Sometimes, you can read a book in translation from a very foreign culture and yet the characters and the story will make sense to you, and connect with you. The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years was one of those books for me. And then sometimes, you read a foreign translation and go "......whaaaaaaaa?" That was The Bleeding of the Stone, for me.Bizarre magic realism, a disjointed plot, and heavy symbolism. I understand what was going on in the individual scenes and was aware of the themes the
Amazing, magical, mystical, and above all: important. The narrative style is surreal, fresh, and classic all at the same time. The ending is splendid.
Ibrahim al-Koni was brought up in the Tuareg tradition and the Tuareg are the people of the desert, the only people who know how to live in and with the Sahara Desert environment. The desert pervades this book, its people, wildlife, traditions, harshness and magic.This is a timeless story. It appears to be set at the time of the Italian invasion of Libya (although 1957 is mentioned at one point) but it is just as relevant in this decade. Any army in a desert has a devastating effect, hunting the
