What Members Thought
Having spent the core of my childhood in Algeria, I'll pick up pretty much any new book in English by an Algerian author. This slim patchwork construction tells the story of the real-life editor, publisher, bookseller Edmond Charlot, who, as a 20-year-old in 1936, opened a store/gallery space in Algiers for books, art and young writers and artists to coalesce. The book is also seeking to say something more about Algeria and France, but isn't overt about its intentions -- it's more of a mood.
