Paperback. Etat : New. A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2020. 'Capitalism and religious fundamentalism collide in Girod's shimmering account of one man's heresy and imminent execution.' - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review. Mansour al-Jazairi is on his way to his public execution. As his faithful friend Hussein looks on, the crowd calls for his head. Gassouh! Gassouh! It is a time when age-old rituals play out amid skyscrapers and are replayed on smartphone screens in the air-conditioned corridors of shopping malls.
