Product Details

Praise

“Mr. Khoury felt that the constant turmoil of war, displacement and oppression that marked the modern Arab world required a new type of novel, one that reflected his era’s discombobulated reality. Often beginning with a single sustained encounter, his novels spin outward, kaleidoscopically, into the past and across borders.” 
New York Times

“Khoury has long been focused on the aftereffects of the Nakba, most notably in Gate of the Sun (2006), emphasizing the cruelty of forced expulsion and the confusions of statelessness . . . Adam recalls his intense, hopeful, and difficult relationships with women . . . [adding] lyrical and deeper elements . . . A powerful chronicle of the search for peace and identity amid constant disruption.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Khoury skillfully evokes the cruel absurdities of Israeli occupation as Adam attempts to cope with past and present anguish.” 
—Leslie Williams, Booklist
