IT IS ALWAYS a thrill when a talented foreign writer breaks into the Anglocentric world of British publishing. The Moroccan writer and painter Mahi Binebine has finally done so with his fourth novel, Welcome to Paradise. Savage, compelling and painfully timely (Binebine’s subject is illegal immigration), it takes us into the world of a group of people most readers will only know from news coverage.
