Karnaval

Imagine Camus rewriting Taxi Driver.
Toronto Life

There are two kinds of taxi drivers: spiders and flies. Spiders are the ones sitting in the heat of their cars and waiting for the customer to come to them. The flies wander around the streets of the city until they see a sign that calls them. Fly is a traveler. From his taxi, we watch the sparkle of the carnival, hidden by the darkness of the city, with all its beauty and ugliness. We meet murderers, prostitutes, madmen, revolutionaries, ordinary people who set out to extraordinary places.

Winner of the International Impac Dublin Literary Award, Rawi Hage is the author of a book he created with a mastery and courage that reminds us of James Joyce and Henry Miller. It invites the reader to a dream-like atmosphere: Starting from the moment you sit in the back seat, from the city streets to under bridges; From library shelves to childhood memories; to a dizzying adventure that extends from secret lives to limitless dreams.

Hage's most enthusiastic, most creative and most playful novel... so far.
Telegraph Journal

In one word, magnificent. Carnival is proof that Hage is one of the brightest stars in the literary sky.
Toronto Star

Fly, a taxi driver by night and a bookworm by day, is the main character of this fairy tale story. All that remains for the reader is to jump in the taxi with him and enjoy the journey.
