Medhat (Plus de 3 100 résultats)

Paperback. Etat : Good. Winner of the Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize "Move over Walt Longmire. Make room for Franz Kafka, aka 'K.' Expertly plotted, beautifully written, eloquent, colloquial, wry, insightful . . .

A sharp eye for detail and sprachgefühl for putting observations into words. Style, grace, a confident, compelling, and controlled narrative voice. The sophisticated narration dances from omniscient to close-third without any false steps or trips. A very smooth operator, this writer. The characters glide off the page.

The killer, it turns out, is much closer to home. Katayoun Medhat was raised in Iran and Germany and studied anthropology in Berlin and London.

For her PhD in medical anthropology, she researched mental health and alcohol rehab services on the Navajo Nation, and along the way learned to appreciate the healing power of humor as life force.…
