Summary

Emilienne Malfatto: The Lamenter of the Tigris

In today's rural Iraq, on the banks of the Tigris, a young girl violates the supreme prohibition: in the whirlwind of life, she engages in an extramarital love affair. The guy dies under the bombs, and the girl remains pregnant: her fate is sealed. As the inexorable mechanism of death kicks in, the family members take on the form of silent shadows under the protective gaze of Gilgamesh, the Mesopotamian hero, who preserves the memory of the land and the people.

Inspired by the complex realities of the Iraq she knows well, award-winning freelance journalist and photographer Émilienne Malfatto (reports worldwide with a focus on the Middle East and Latin America) introduces us with exquisite feeling to a closed society ruled by male authority and code of honor. Her first novel builds on her reporting success and wins several awards, the most significant of which is the Prix Goncourt for a debut novel. Tigris's dirge is a brilliant and poignant lyrical novel that carries within itself the power of ancient tragedy.
