Requests:  0 Summary:  "One evening, as a young boy growing up in Benghazi, Khaled hears a bizarre short story read aloud on the radio, about a man being eaten alive by a cat. Obsessed by the power of those words--and by their enigmatic author, Hosam Zawa--Khaled eventually embarks on a journey that will take him far from home, to pursue a life of the mind at the University of Edinburgh. There, thrust into an open society that is light years away from the world he knew in Libya, Khaled begins to change. He attends a protest against the Qaddafi regime in London, only to watch it explode in tragedy. In a flash, Khaled finds himself injured, clinging to life, an exile, unable to leave England, much less return to the country of his birth. To even tell his mother and father back home what he has done, on tapped phone lines, would jeopardize their safety. When a chance encounter in a hotel brings Khaled face to face with Hosam Zawa, the author of the fateful short story, he is subsumed into the deepest friendship of his life. It is a friendship that not only sustains him, but eventually forces him, as the Arab Spring erupts, to confront agonizing tensions between revolution and safety, family and exile, and how to define his own sense of self against those closest to him"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Matar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Matar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Matar Checked out 06/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction Matar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Matar In Cataloging   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList
