Mohamed Alyahyai, "The War" (Dararab for Publishing and Translation, 2026)
A psychological Arabic novel in English translation, The War by Mohamed Alyahyai follows a man who begins to question whether he is truly the one who returned from war. On a winter night, Issa Saleh prepares a small gathering at his home. By the end of the evening, they are gone—and he is no longer certain they were ever there. As memory fractures, the war resurfaces not as event but as instability, where identity itself begins to slip and the narratives that sustain survival unravel.Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://newbooksnetwork.supportingcast.fm/literature Hosted by…
