What happens when the fever of isolation burns away the line between reality and hallucination?

Prairies of Fever is Ibrahim Nasrallah’s harrowing debut novel, a surreal descent into the psychological abyss. Set against the backdrop of a remote desert outpost, the story follows a teacher consumed by isolation, delirium, and the oppressive heat. As the fever takes hold, the boundaries of time, identity, and memory begin to dissolve.

Far from a traditional narrative, this "nightmare novel" creates a terrifying geography of the mind where history is erased and the self is fractured. Haunted by memories of a woman named Fatima and the silence of the wilderness, the protagonist struggles to distinguish between the living and the dead. It is a raw, experimental work that explores the fragility of the human psyche when stripped of its familiar world.
