Reviews
'Compulsive, funny, powerfully emotional..sinuously intelligent. Khadra's perceptive and confident novel, translated from French by Julian Evans, is an unmissable entertainment' The Guardian 'Mesmerizing' The New Yorker 'In this closed-door drama, which reads almost like a piece of theatre, Yasmina Khadra gets inside the mind of a tyrant awaiting the fatal bullet' Le Point 'Packs a devastating punch' Shortlist 'Bold, often mischievous. A wonderfully entertaining read - as commanding and schizophrenic as the psychopath who 'speaks' its words' The Big Issue 'A skilled storyteller working at the height of his powers' Times Literary Supplement 'Like all the great storytellers of history, [Khadra] espouses the contradictions of his characters, who carry in themselves the entirety of the human condition' Le Point 'World-class' Rosie Goldsmith, The Independent 'Captivating and perversely delightful' The Wall Street Journal, "Intense, elegant, despairing prose...deeply affecting.' The Guardian "Beautifully written... disturbing and mesmerising" San Francisco Chronicle "Khadra is a passionately moral writer but he rarely sits in judgment." The Literary Review "Khadra's prose is gentle and precise" The New Yorker

Synopsis
People say I am a megalomaniac. It is not true. I am an exceptional being, providence incarnate, envied by the gods, able to make a faith of his cause. October 2011. In the dying days of the Libyan civil war, Muammar Gaddafi is hiding out in his home town of Sirte along with his closest advisors. In this gripping imagining of the last hours of President Gaddafi, Khadra provides us with fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most complex and controversial figures of recent history. Yasmina Khadra is the pen name of the Algerian author Mohammed Moulessehoul., Described as 'deeply affecting' by The Guardian , Yasmina Khadra provides us with a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most complex and controversial figures of recent history in this gripping imagining of the last hours of President Gaddafi. 'Khadra's prose is gentle and precise' The New Yorker People say I am a megalomaniac. It is not true. I am an exceptional being, providence incarnate, envied by the gods, able to make a faith of his cause. October 2011. In the dying days of the Libyan civil war, Muammar Gaddafi is hiding out in his home town of Sirte along with his closest advisors. They await a convoy that will take them south, away from encroaching rebel forces and NATO aerial attacks. The mood is sombre. In what will be his final night, Gaddafi reflects on an extraordinary life, whilst still raging against the West, his fellow Arab nations and the ingratitude of the Libyan people., 'Captivating and perversely delightful.'

Le Point 'The ability of the author to infiltrate the mind and personality of Gaddafi is uncanny. It is very well written and compelling.' D.Olser, NetGalley reviewer 'A skilled storyteller working at the height of his powers.' TLS 'Khadra brings us deep into the hearts and minds of people living in unspeakable mental anguish.' L A Times 'I loved the idea of this book and it was fascinating to read about Col. Gadaffi in a fictionalised setting.'
