The Hakawati

The Hakawati | ALAMEDDINE RABIH

Enchanting...once you admit confusion
3 years ago

A very creative idea. The main character's journey of self after the death of his father is the loose central plot. But surrounding it are stories galore. Narrative is heaped upon narrative in a mis-en abyme gone wild. About 100 pages in, you are in a story within a story within a story...five layers deep.

  • About Me:

    Journalism student living and playing (at least for now) in Toronto. I read too much and I have opinions about books so here I am! I become partial to certain genres: chick-lit for my teens, strictly school text books before that, some romance stuff after my "Devil Wears Prada" days, finished off with lots of action and suspense ala Dan Brown. Now, after living in India, it's all about South Asian literature and poetry.

  • Interests:

    Writing, travel, Hip hop/ Bollywood ( yes- there is such a thing!)/ belly dance, Yoga, rock-climbing, Hindi and Tamil film, Reading, painting abstract visually appealing stuff

  • Favourite Author:

    Too many to name just one.

    Can any one recommend a good non-fiction book on India or the Middle East for me? Something that isn't biased, has interesting facts, and preferably information on living there. Maybe by an ex-pat?
