One of the most original and inventive writers of his generation.” —Omar Robert Hamilton
“The Dissenters is an encyclopedia of all the ways bodies are imprisoned or made free—by politics, sex, power, love, death. An Egypt of the senses, mind and heart, laid open and dissected in every manner. This book will seduce you from its opening pages and stun you with its last. A tremendous, confident novel from Youssef Rakha, assuming his rightful place on the literary stage.” —Bina Shah
“The Dissenters is a stylish, deftly told story about a stubbornly cosmopolitan and non-conformist set of characters whose lifestyles set them on a collision course with Egypt's military regime leading up to the Tahrir uprising and its grim aftermath.”—Amitav Ghosh
