Boualem Sansal
Biography | Reviews | Press | Bookshop
Born in 1949, Boualem Sansal lives in Boumerdès, near Algiers. His first novel Le Serment des barbares [The Barbarians’ Sermon] (1999) won the Prix du Premier Roman. In 2003 he was dismissed from his government job for criticising the Algerian government. Today he is considered not only one of Algeria’s most important writers, but a literary figure of international stature. An Unfinished Business won the Grand Prix RTL LIRE 2008.

Frank Wynne has won three major prizes for his translations: the 2002 IMPAC for Atomised by Michel Houellebecq, the 2005 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for Windows on the World by Frédéric Beigbeder and the 2008 Scott Moncrieff Prize for Holiday in a Coma by the same author.
