Otared - Rabie, Mohammad

. .

Résumé :
Ahmed Otared is a Cairene police officer and trained sniper. When the country is invaded and occupied by a force of foreign mercenaries he joins the underground resistance, embarking a new bloodthirsty career.As the violence he encounters and participates in intensifies, a terrifying reality, bubbling below surface of 'normal' life, is revealed to him, and he finds himself a fantasia of torture and torment, a hellscape from which there is no deliverance.This unflinching and grisly tale is made vivid through Mohammed Rabie's brutally beautiful writing.
