"e;A writer who can understand man wherever he is."e; The New York TimesAs a child living in a ghetto, Turambo dreamt of a better future. When his family find a home in the city anything seems possible. But colonial Algeria is no place to be ambitious for those of Arab-Berber ethnicity. Through a succession of menial jobs, the constants for Turambo are rage at the injustice surrounding him, and a reliable left hook. A boxing apprenticeship offers Turambo a choice: to take his chance at sporting greatness or choose a simpler life beside the woman he loves.Reviews"e;Khadra's prose is gentle and precise."e; The New YorkerThe Angels Die is a must read for readers of international fiction, whether historical or contemporary.'
