Prairies of Fever is the first novel by Ibrahim Nasrallah, the Palestinian poet and novelist born in Al-Wehdat refugee camp in Jordan. It draws on his own experience of teaching in a remote village in Saudi Arabia.

The novel follows Mohammad Hammad, a young teacher who is told one day that he has died, and who struggles to prove that he is alive. Written in a dreamlike, poetic style, it is a powerful portrait of alienation, exile and loss of identity. Translated by May Jayyusi and Jeremy Reed, it is considered a pioneering work of modern Arabic fiction.
