Award-Winning Literary Novel — Visually Striking and Critically Acclaimed

Cockroach by Rawi Hage is a haunting, hallucinatory tale of survival and subversion set in Montreal’s immigrant underworld. The narrator—a self-proclaimed thief—navigates smoky cafés, therapy sessions, and frozen streets, imagining himself as a cockroach scuttling through the cracks of a society that refuses to see him. With biting humor and lyrical prose, Hage delivers a razor-sharp portrait of alienation, trauma, and resilience, hailed as one of the most original voices in contemporary literature.

This distinguished hardcover edition was a finalist for multiple major literary awards and features a stylized dust jacket that reflects the novel’s psychological depth and urban grit. A perfect addition for collectors and readers alike, it combines visual impact with literary prestige.
