The Temple of Blood
The inhabitants of Habulqam carry their heads in the palms of their hands. When a child is born with his head resting on his shoulders, his difference challenges the certainties of a city governed by myths. Tarek El-Zayat builds The Temple of Blood around this disturbing reversal of what its people consider normal.
Within this imagined world, family ties and love meet the demands of an oppressive order. The novel asks how inherited beliefs shape a community, and what happens when a life exposes the fragility of those beliefs. Blending the fantastic with questions of power and belonging, this English edition is translated by Thouraya Romdhane.
