 Al-Ahram Weekly | Books Supplement | Mohammed Dib: Algeria recalled
Dib, himself, has worked as a designer in a weaving factory (1945-47), and thus the technical and social aspects of the life of workers are rendered through the author's occupational experience.
Dib moves on to recount how in his late teens he, himself, became a teacher in a hamlet in the desert of Angade (on the frontiers with Morocco).
In his aphorisms, Dib praises solitude and slowness and is sorry to see evolution everywhere in the 20th century going in one direction: overestimating the role of sciences and techniques at the price of what he calls "la sagesse humaniste" (humanist wisdom).

DIB, Mohammed (1920-), Algerian novelist and poet writing in French, was born in Tlemcen, Algeria.
Dib emerged at the forefront of the modern wave of Algerian literature in French with the publication of his panoramic trilogy of pre-revolutionary Algeria: La Grande maison (1952), L'Incendie (1954), and Le Métier à tisser (1957).
Dib departed from the realistic depiction of post-revolutionary Algeria portrayed in Dieu en Barbarie (1970) and Le Maître de chasse (1973) with his recent enigmatic trilogy, Les Terrasses d'Orsol (1985), Le Sommeil d'Éve (1989), and Neiges de marbre (1990).

 L.A. Trip - Mohammed Dib
Dib visited Los Angeles in 1974, but only undertook this project a quarter of a century later -- and much of the book has that feel of distant (but still vibrant) memory.
There's some fine verse here, though Dib's almost glancing style (skipping across description, leaving much for the reader to fill in) makes for a different kind of reading experience than much of the dense verse popular today.
Algerian author Mohammed Dib (1920-2003) lived in Paris from 1959 onwards.

 'Sardines and Oranges: Short Stories from North Africa' reviewed on the official website of Laura Hird
Your Turn is Next’ and Mohamed Choukri’s ‘Men Have All the Luck’ also continue the theme of women’s oppression, and the first story deals with a particularly horrible murder where a woman’s body parts have been discovered in a sack.
A local woman, Rasmiya, has gone missing, and many people think the body is hers since her father threatened to kill her after she committed adultery.
‘The Myth of the North’ by Izz al-Din al-Tazi is another work that impressed me. As did ‘The Companion’ by Mohammed Dib which has a wonderfully engaging Algerian narrator.
