After ne'er-do-wells spread rumors about a widowed mother's weak
moral character among the people of a slum on the outskirts of
Tunis that festers with migrants who have come to the metropolis
from the heartland in search of a better life, her twenty-year-old
son takes matters into his own hands and commits an unspeakable
crime. An imaginative and disturbing novel told from the
alternating viewpoints of this unrepentant sociopath, as he sits
and fumes on death row but willingly guides us through his juvenile
exploits and twisted memories, and his murdered mother, who calmly
gives an account of her interrupted life from beyond the grave, A
Tunisian Tale introduces the narrative talents of Hassouna Mosbahi
to an English-language audience for the first time, as he confronts
both taboos of Tunisian society and the boundaries of conventional
storytelling.
