‘In The Mulai, Munir Hachemi conjures a mythic future history with all the heartbreak, mystery and absurdity of truth. With cheeky brilliance (and with translator Julia Sanches as a hovering ghost-in-the-machine presence), Hachemi co-opts the tropes of ethnography and intergalactic colonialism to imagine a q***r, eschatological Eden, where culture is story and story is an alchemical compost pile of language decomposed and recomposed.’ – Anne de Marcken, author of It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over

'It’s a wild, insightful, and impressive work.' – Publishers Weekly

'[S]tartling, hopeful, speculative ... a daring novel narrated in strange and twisting language.' – Michelle Schingler, Forward Reviews ★ STARRED REVIEW

‘This is a book about failure, or about what is still possible within a world completely itemized and exploited, and what it means to be possessed of a body that is no longer visible, but which desires, endlessly, nonetheless. That seeks to become its own version of glamor. What that body desires is the corpus of this book: to unstitch the hems of concepts, and to find there and reveal an erotics of reading that brings one into contact with the desirous bodies of others, living and dead. Desirous of s*x, knowledge, aesthetics and revolution. It’s an appealing proposition.’
