Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Last Summer of Reason,found among assassinated Algerian writer Tahar Djaout's papers after his death, tells the elegant, haunting story of a bookseller's fight against radical fundamentalism. This brief, intense novel is a powerful and timely indictment of terror and closed-mindedness throughout the world, and a fitting final statement from this acclaimed writer and tireless fighter for democracy. Praise for the hardcover edition: "One is reminded of how life-affirming and dangerous literature still can be."-Minneapolis Star Tribune "I hope . . . readers find Djaout's little book, even if it is filled with more questions than answers."-USA Today "An elegiac ode to literature and a furious protest against intolerance-The New York Times Book Review About the AuthorOn May 26, 1993, novelist, poet and journalist Tahar Djaout was attacked by a group of assassins and died after a week in a coma. Djaout's death, the first of dozens of attacks against Algerian intellectuals, was attributed to an Islamic fundamentalist group. Djaout was the author of eleven books of poetry and fiction and editor of the dissident literary journal Ruptures, and was considered one of his generation's most promising writers. His novel Les vigiles (The Watchers) won the Prix Mediteranee in 1991; the manuscript for The Last Summer of Reason was found among his papers after his death.
