Summary
Libya, 1979. Nine-year-old Suleiman's days are circumscribed by the narrow rituals of childhood: outings to the ruins surrounding Tripoli, games with friends played under the burning sun, exotic gifts from his father's constant business trips abroad. But his nights have come to revolve around his mother's increasingly disturbing bedside stories full of old family bitterness. And then one day Suleiman sees his father across the square of a busy marketplace, his face wrapped in a pair of dark sunglasses. Wasn't he supposed to be away on business yet again? Why is he going into that strange building with the green shutters? Why did he lie? Suleiman is soon caught up in a world he cannot hope to understand--where the sound of the telephone ringing becomes a portent of grave danger; where his mother frantically burns his father's cherished books; where a stranger full of sinister questions sits outside in a parked car all day; where his best friend's father can disappear overnight, next to be seen publicly interrogated on state television.In the Country of Men is a stunning depiction of a child confronted with the private fallout of a public nightmare. But above all, it is a debut of rare insight and literary grace.From the Hardcover edition.

Description:
New York: Viking, 2006. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x1x9. First edition. Top page ridge very faintly foxed. 2006 Hard Cover. 244 pp. Hisham Matar's In the Country of Men is a strikingly balanced novel. While set within the complicated and highly charged political landscape of Libya in the late â70s (the setting of the author's own early childhood), the story's narrator is a young boy still preoccupied with games, just beginning to open his eyes to the possibility of love, still considering âand misinterpretingâwhat it means to be a man. By constructing the story around this strange interplay of innocence and corruption, the author is able to open up a dialogue about duality, addressing both the light and dark elements of humanity and exploring an impressive range of themes such as freedom and identity, justice and injustice, loyalty and betrayal, exile and identity, addiction and the nature of truth.
