RABIH ALAMEDDINE signs
Hakawati
(Knopf, $25.95)
|
Kirkus starred: "Alameddine mingles a four-generation family saga with a cornucopia of Arabian tales and historical dramas to create a one-of-a-kind novel... No one interested in boundary-defying fiction will want to miss this high-wire act... A dizzying, prodigal display of storytelling overabundance." The history of a family and of Lebanon unfold side-by-side in this story of a Californian who goes home to Beirut to visit his dying father. Amy Tan called it "a glorious, gorgeous masterpiece of pure storytelling and fable-making." And Andrew Sean Greer said: "Here it comes, the book of the year, on its own magic carpet. No book this bewitching has ever felt so important; no book this important has ever been so lovingly enchanted. It is a snapshot of our current crisis, and a story for the ages." | |
