By the Sea by Abdulrazak Gurnah is praised for its lyrical prose and profound exploration of displacement and identity. Gurnah's narrative deeply conveys the complexities of exile and cultural intersection. However, some readers find the pacing slow, which may affect engagement. Overall, it's a rich narrative for those interested in nuanced storytelling.
A reader intrigued by themes of exile, identity, and memory would relish Abdulrazak Gurnah's By the Sea. Comparable to works like The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, it appeals to those who appreciate nuanced narratives about displacement and human connection.
