The New Eve

Translated from French and Arabic, The New Eve is an exploration of love, identity, and resistance in a society where emotional connections are seen as a disease. In a future where human reproduction is controlled by technology and gender roles are policed by a totalitarian society, Adam and Maneki forge a forbidden connection that transcends their world’s rigid structures. As their journey unfolds, they uncover the hidden costs of their society’s technological advancements: gender segregation, the criminalization of love, and the suppression of individuality. Amidst the rigid enforcement of heterosexual norms, they encounter androgynes who defy binary categories, opening the door to a broader understanding of identity, desire, and self-expression. The New Eve tackles questions about gender fluidity, the ethics of technological progress, and the resilience of the human spirit. This English edition, translated by Paul Roochnik, a retired tenured professor at The Defense Language Institute, California, captures the philosophical depth and literary brilliance of Moussa Ould Ebnou’s original work, bringing this essential African speculative novel to a wider audience.
