Description
This great Algerian novelist and poet wrote L.A. Trip inresponse to a stay in Los Angeles in the 1970s. Dib saw this work as a bilingual publication, and this edition, accordingly, is the first complete version of what he describes as a novel in verse'. The story tells of an Old World man's tribulation in the New World and revives a tradition somewhat lost from sight, the novel in verse, which the author describes as an 'antidepressant to poetry's ectoplasmic days, languishing, exhausted by a breathless impressionism'.'
