Eine Brache in der Cité du 11-Décembre, in der Banlieue von Algier. Die Kinder und Jugendlichen des Viertels haben sie sich erobert. Den Kopf voller Träume, spielen sie dort Fußball, auch wenn der Regen das Areal immer wieder in Schlamm verwandelt. Eines Tages tauchen zwei Generäle mit Bauplänen auf. Sie wollen dort ihre Villen errichten, das Grundstück gehört nun ihnen. Doch den Kindern gelingt es, die Männer fürs Erste zu vertreiben, und schon bald organisieren sie den Widerstand. Anders als ihre resignierten Eltern sind die jungen Menschen nicht willens, sich zu beugen. Die Spannung steigt. Wird der Machtapparat die rebellische Jugend doch noch in die Knie zwingen? Anhand dieses Konflikts erkundet Kaouther Adimi die algerische Gesellschaft. Sie beleuchtet Korruption und Machtmissbrauch, die Geschichte des Landes, den Kampf gegen die Franzosen und die Islamisten und auch die Lebensrealität der Frauen in den letzten Jahrzehnten. Ein Buch, das Mut macht und Hoffnungen weckt und angesichts des Volksaufstands gegen Expräsident Bouteflika geradezu prophetisch erscheint.

In der ärmlichen Rue du Pardon in Marrakesch ist Hayat aufgewachsen, die Erzählerin in Mahi Binebines neuestem Roman. Wegen ihrer blonden Haare wird sie verachtet, und auch in ihrer Familie erfährt sie Gewalt. Hayat flüchtet und gewinnt dank Mamyta, der größten orientalischen Tänzerin Marokkos, ein neues Leben. Mamyta ist eine Art Geisha - Sängerin, Tänzerin, Liebhaberin. Eine freie Frau in einer Gesellschaft, in der vieles verboten ist. Sie tanzt an Festen und in den beliebten Kabaretts. Verunglimpft und bewundert zugleich, sind ihre Lieder eine Mischung aus Unanständigem und Heiligem. Wenn man Mahi Binebine liest, glaubt man, diese stolzen Frauen vor sich tanzen zu sehen, und wird verzaubert.

Als Océane an ihrem fünfzehnten Geburtstag von der Schule nach Hause kommt, wird sie Augenzeugin einer brutalen Razzia. Es ist der 11. Juni 1981. Die Polizei beschlagnahmt die Fischernetze der Mi'gmaq, die seit Jahrtausenden vom Lachsfang leben. Viele werden verhaftet, es gibt Tote. Québec, ganz Kanada ist in Aufruhr. Kurz darauf findet der Ranger Leclerc ein indigenes Mädchen, das mehrfach vergewaltigt wurde. Zusammen mit dem Mi'gmaq William versucht er die Tat aufzuklären. Dabei kommen sie einem Netzwerk auf die Spur, in das auch die Polizei verstrickt ist. Taqawan, so nennen die Mi'gmaq den Lachs, der zum ersten Mal in den Fluss seiner Geburt zurückkehrt. Auch Éric Plamondon begibt sich zu den Ursprüngen: Er verwebt die Geschichte der Kolonisation Ostkanadas mit den Legenden der Mi'gmaq und ihrem Ringen um Eigenständigkeit. Ein packender Roman noir und ein faszinierender Einblick in die Lebenswelt dieser First Nation.

Julia Kohli seziert in ihrem zweiten Buch Rollenbilder und Geschlechterkonflikte im Hier und Jetzt. Es sind Paare, Berufskollegen und Unbekannte aus unterschiedlichsten Milieus, die sich begegnen. Sei es ein starker Kerl wie Dirk, eine genervte Zeitungsredaktorin, eine besorgte Mutter oder ein arrivierter Professor: Kohli kommt dem Lebensgefühl ihrer Figuren, ihrem Selbstverständnis, ihren Komplexen und ihrer Ohnmacht im Umgang mit dem anderen Geschlecht mit erstaunlichen Innensichten auf die Spur. Rasant, provokant und sprachgewandt, oft schmunzeln machend und plötzlich wieder schockierend - mit diesen sieben Short Storys legt Julia Kohli eine Textsammlung vor, die mitten in ein gesellschaftliches Reizthema sticht. Sie ist dabei ebenso unangepasst wie überzeugend.

'A beautiful little novel about books, history, ambition and the importance of literature.' Nick Hornby 'Truly potent ... Adimi confronts us with episodes that are simply never spoken of in France' The New York Times Book Review In 1936, a young dreamer named Edmond Charlot opened a modest bookshop in Algiers. Once the heart of Algerian cultural life, where Camus launched his first book and the Free French printed propaganda during the war, Charlot's beloved bookshop has been closed for decades, living on as a government lending library. Now it is to be shuttered forever. But as a young man named Ryad empties it of its books, he begins to understand that a bookshop can be much more than just a shop that sells books. A Bookshop in Algiers charts the changing fortunes of Charlot's bookshop through the political drama of Algeria's turbulent twentieth century of war, revolution and independence. It is a moving celebration of books, bookshops and of those who dare to dream.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE DSC PRIZE FOR SOUTH ASIAN LITERATURE As night falls in Delhi a mother spins tales from her past for her sleeping daughter. Her now grown-up child is a puzzle with a million pieces whom she hopes, through her words and her love, to somehow make whole again. Meanwhile, as the last train from Rajiv Chowk Station pulls away, a young man rides the metro and dreams of murder. In another corner of the city, a newborn wrapped in a blood-red towel lies on the steps of an orphanage as his mother walks away. There are twenty million bodies in this city and this woman, man and child are only three. But their stories – of a secret love that blossoms in the shadows of grief, of a corrosive guilt that taints the soul, and of an orphaned boy who maps out his own destiny – weave in and out of the lives of those around them to form a dazzling kaleidoscope of a novel. Beautiful, beguiling and audacious, this is the story of a city and its people, of love and horror, of belonging and forgiveness: a powerful and unforgettable tale of modern India.

“Storylines and twists abound. But action is secondary to atmosphere: Onuzo excels at evoking a stratified city, where society weddings feature ‘ice sculptures as cold as the unmarried belles’ and thugs write tidy receipts for kickbacks extorted from homeless travelers.” —The New Yorker When army officer Chike Ameobi is ordered to kill innocent civilians, he knows it is time to desert his post. As he travels toward Lagos with Yemi, his junior officer, and into the heart of a political scandal involving Nigeria’s education minister, Chike becomes the leader of a new platoon, a band of runaways who share his desire for a different kind of life. Among them is Fineboy, a fighter with a rebel group, desperate to pursue his dream of becoming a radio DJ; Isoken, a 16–year–old girl whose father is thought to have been killed by rebels; and the beautiful Oma, escaping a wealthy, abusive husband. Full of humor and heart, Welcome to Lagos is a high–spirited novel about aspirations and escape, innocence and corruption. It offers a provocative portrait of contemporary Nigeria that marks the arrival in the United States of an extraordinary young writer.

A subversive, macabre novel of a young Indian man’s misadventures in Victorian London as the city is racked by a series of murders In a small Bihari village, Captain William T. Meadows finds just the man to further his phrenological research back home: Amir Ali, confessed member of the infamous Thugee cult. With tales of a murderous youth redeemed, Ali gains passage to England, his villainously shaped skull there to be studied. Only Ali knows just how embroidered his story is, so when a killer begins depriving London’s underclass of their heads, suspicion naturally falls on the “thug.” With help from fellow immigrants led by a shrewd Punjabi woman, Ali journeys deep into a hostile city in an attempt to save himself and end the gruesome murders. Ranging from skull-lined mansions to underground tunnels a ghostly people call home, The Thing about Thugs is a feat of imagination to rival Wilkie Collins or Michael Chabon. Short-listed for the 2010 Man Asian Literary Prize, this sly Victorian role reversal marks the arrival of a compelling new Indian novelist to North America.
