So Vast the Prison is the most ambitious work to date by the woman many consider to have been North Africa's most important literary voice. The tragedies of Algerian history are its subject-particularly the condition of women in Islam. Assia Djebar's fiction, like that of Nadine Gordimer and Edna O'Brien, wrestles with issues of oppression and the subtle ways that language and history enforce it.

Here is a radically singular voice; a private tale embedded in a vast tapestry.…
