So Vast the Prison: A Novel - Assia Djebar, Betsy Wing
I have this as 'read' and 'gave up on ' because I read it a couple of years ago according to my library's records, but obviously it didn't make enough of an impression on me to remember it. This time around I just couldn't seem to get under the skin of it at all...whether it would be different in the original language, I can't say....
I felt a bit of a failure as the writer has been so praised and I didn't get it...
