[Epub commercial 1010] • L'Étrange Affaire Du Pantalon De Dassoukine

This long-awaited English-language debut from Morocco's most prominent

contemporary writer won the Prix Gouncourt de Nouvelles, France's most

prestigious literary award, for best story collection. Laroui uses surrealism,

laugh-out-loud humor, and profound compassion across a variety of literary

styles to highlight the absurdity of the human condition, exploring the

realities of life in a world where everything is foreign.

**Fouad Laroui** has published over twenty novels and collections of short

stories, poetry, and essays. Laroui teaches econometrics and environmental

science at the University of Amsterdam, and lives between Amsterdam, Paris,

and Casablanca.
