Library Journal: Best World Literature of the Year A fable, parable, and confession, the second novel from the acclaimed author of The Meursault Investigation pays homage to the essential need for fiction and to the freedom from tradition afforded by an adopted language. Having lost his mother and been shunned by his father, Zabor grows up in the company of books, which teach him a new language. Ever since he can remember, he has been convinced that he has a gift: if he writes, he will stave off death; those captured in the sentences of his notebooks will live longer. Like a kind of inverted Scheherazade saving his fellow men, he experiments night after night with the delirious power of the imagination. Then, one night, his estranged half brother and the other relatives who would disown him come knocking at the door: his father is going to die and perhaps only Zabor is capable of delaying that fateful moment. Sitting next to the father who has ostracized him, the son writes compulsively, retracing an existence characterized by strangeness, abandonment, and humiliation, but also by wondrous encounters with fictional worlds that he alone in the entire village can access.

Kamel Daoud – Zabor In ‘Zabor’ van Kamel Daoud, auteur van de internationale bestseller ‘Moussa of de dood van een Arabier’, neemt de jonge Algerijnse Zabor, met een overleden moeder enerzijds en een vader die hem heeft verstoten anderzijds, zijn toevlucht tot het lezen van boeken. Franse boeken, die niet alleen door de taal maar ook door de veelzijdige thema’s een nieuwe wereld aan hem openbaren. Zabor is er altijd van overtuigd geweest dat hij een gave heeft: zolang hij schrijft, kan hij de dood op afstand houden, zoals Sheherazade in ‘Duizend-en-een-nacht’. Zo ook op de avond dat hij aan het sterfbed van zijn vader zit. ‘Zabor’ is de betoverende nieuwe roman van de controversiële auteur Kamel Daoud. ‘Een hartstochtelijke roman over de kracht van taal.’ – Le Monde

Some time ago Rafi Zabor sat down to write a brief narrative of the year 1986. That was the year he set out across two continents in a used Mercedes--"Wabenzi" is the Swahili word for a member of the Mercedes-owning class--to buy a grave stone for his friend Mahmoud Rauf and to outrun the shadow of his own parents' recent death. But like a boat against the current, the writer was drawn back into the past: his father's escape from the Nazis, Rafi's own Brooklyn boyhood surrounded by the fractious, Zabors and Zaborovskys, and the anguished--sometimes farcical--spiritual journey that led Zabor from Brooklyn to Turkey by way of Coltrane, the thirteenth-century mystic Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi, the McGovern campaign, Gurdjieff, a shoe salesman named Gogol, and the cataclysmic months Zabor spent studying (and whirling) amid a band of Sufis in rural England. The result--the first of a projected four volumes--is one of the most original, capacious, and vivid narratives of the last few decades, a real-life Bildungsroman dealing with an expanded range of human experience, from matters of life and death to a piece of what lies beyond them. Straight from the unchartered territory between Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Tristram Shandy, I, Wabenzi lifts a corner of the known world as if it were the edge of a curtain, and begins to show a reality new to our literature gleaming on the other side.

A righteously satisfying read of a thriller, metaphysical novel, and screwball comedy, from the author of The Bear Comes Home. With the twists, turns, and smash-ups of a thriller, the sudden depths of a metaphysical novel, and the fizz of a screwball comedy, Street Legal is high entertainment and a righteously satisfying read, from the author of the greatest novel ever written about a saxophone-playing bear. Street Legal features an old-time skunk dealer, sniffing the new breezes, wants to open an Old-Time Grass Business Theme Park with rides and a disco. His foot soldier, a strapping, confused kid who might be on the spectrum. A frustrated cop who isn't allowed to collar anyone important because the town needs the business who consoles himself by trying to make a last-chance bust and grab some of the action. A slick, unsettling stranger buying up properties under cover for a major tobacco company but really out for himself. A Tibetan Buddhist lama from New Jersey who sounds like Tony Soprano when discoursing on the dharma who finds his disciple, a wry, reticently sexy earth mother wracked with concern for the wayward young man who is her son.

Ein Geschichtenerzähler, der Leben verlängern kann. In seinem zweiten Roman erforscht Kamel Daoud, der für sein Debüt »Der Fall Meursault – eine Gegendarstellung« von Kritik und Publikum international gefeiert wurde, das menschliche Dasein mit den Methoden aus Tausendundeiner Nacht. Eine große Parabel über die Macht des Erzählens und des Erzählers. Ismaël, der sich selbst Zabor nennt, verliert früh seine Mutter. Der Vater verstößt ihn, Stiefmutter und Halbgeschwister wollen das Kind nicht im Haus haben. Zabor wächst bei seiner altjüngferlichen Tante und dem stummen Großvater auf. Trost und Zuflucht findet er in der Literatur, er verschlingt alles, was er in die Finger kriegen kann. Viel ist das jedoch nicht in einem algerischen Dorf, das im Süden bereits an die Sahara grenzt, und so beginnt Zabor, seine eigenen Geschichten zu schreiben und entdeckt dabei schon früh ein besonderes Talent: Er hat die Gabe, das Leben von Sterbenden zu verlängern. So lange er über die Leute schreibt, so lange hält er den Tod auf Abstand. Wenn der Arzt und das Heilige Buch nicht mehr helfen können, dann holt man Zabor. So auch, als eines Tages sein Vater im Sterben liegt. Kamel Daoud, der für sein Debüt »Der Fall Meursault – eine Gegendarstellung« von Kritik und Publikum international gefeiert wurde, hat einen bildstarken und kraftvollen Roman geschrieben: Über Heimat und Familie, über die Macht der Religion und über die große Liebe zur Literatur, die alles sein kann, Unterdrückungsinstrument genauso wie Mittel zur Befreiung.
