A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2020, Ryad Girod's shimmering account of one man's heresy and imminent execution takes readers on a captivating journey through the intersection of capitalism and religious fundamentalism. Set in the Saudi Arabian capital, Mansour al-Jazaïri is on his way to his public execution, with the crowd calling for his head. Amidst the skyscrapers and air-conditioned shopping malls, age-old rituals play out, juxtaposed with the modern world's drive toward modernity. Mansours Eyes weaves together several historical pasts, including the time of Mansour's great-grandfather, the Emir Abdelkader, Algerian independence, and another Mansour, Mansur Al-Hallaj, a Sufi mystic executed in 922. In this lyrical and ambitious novel, Girod explores the post-Arab Spring world as it faces the threat of severing its relationship with the ethos of Sufi thought and mysticism.
