About this book

Laziness in the Fertile Valley is a sharp critique of society. The plot takes us to a family consisting of a father, his three sons, and their uncle, all of whom are epitomes of idleness. One of the brothers has been in a state of slumber for nearly seven years.

About the author

Albert Cossery

Cairo gave Albert Cossery his subject and Paris gave him his address. Born in the Egyptian capital in 1913 to a Greek Orthodox family of Syrian origin, he left for France at seventeen after reading Balzac, settled there for good in 1945, and spent the next sixty-three years in one room at the Hôtel La Louisiane in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
