Soleïman Adel Guémar is about the same age as the independent republic of Algeria. He worked as a freelance investigative... More > journalist from 1991 until 2002, when he claimed political asylum in the UK following threats to his life. The last article he published as a resident of Algeria was titled ‘Dangerous Investigations’ (Liberté, 26.11.2002).
The stories in 'Local Therapy' (translated by Tom Cheesman, ISBN 978-0-9545147-6-1, with cover photo by Christian Als) mostly first appeared in the Algerian press between 1992 and 2002.
Adel's stories, like his poetry, have “a fighter’s edge, a tough beauty” (Lisa Appignanesi). They address the agonies of contemporary Algeria and the survival, despite everything, of dreams of a different world.
His political poems are published in "State of Emergency" (Arc Publications, 2007), in French with English translations by TC and John Goodby.

About Hafan Books

Hafan Books was founded by Tom Cheesman, Eric Ngalle Charles and Sylvie Hoffmann in 2003. Currently Tom runs the project, working with John Goodby, who is editing the Boiled String Poetry Chapbooks series.

HAFAN is a Welsh word meaning haven, sanctuary, asylum. All proceeds go to refugee charities, primarily Swansea Bay Asylum Seekers Support Group (www.swanseabassgroup.org).

Our books are lovely to have and hold. Most include original b/w photographs and artwork. Downloads are mostly free, but don't include covers. The books are perfect bound, and mostly in a large format (c.22x28cm = 8.5"x11").
