«L'Enfant de sable / La Nuit sacrée» is the volume bringing together the two novels by Tahar Ben Jelloun, published by Seuil in hardcover (405 pages, in French).
A father who has only had daughters raises the last one as a boy so as not to be left without an heir; a narrator gradually unfolds that story in a Moroccan society. The novel interweaves identity, gender, postcolonial inheritance and criticism of customs, with elements of magical realism. «La Nuit sacrée» continues the tale of Ahmed/Zahra.
The two novels, written in French, were published in 1985 and 1987; this 1987 edition brings them together in a single volume.
Recommended for readers of French and Moroccan literature, interested in identity, gender and social criticism.
