Faysal Khartash is a leading Syrian author. He lives in his native Aleppo, has written several novels and works as a school teacher while contributing to Syrian newspapers.
“Like Tom Ripley and Dickie Greenleaf in [Patricia] Highsmith’s best-known novel, the central characters in ‘The Bishop’s Bedroom’ orbit one another like ballroom doppelgängers until it’s difficult to tell who is lying to whom or why … This is a strong, well-written and weirdly seductive little novel about enjoying the small pleasures of life.”
