Bursting with stories and myths, this exuberant, irrepressible family novel has all the magic ofA Hundred Years of Solitude- for the Middle East.
Irreverent, exhilarating, heartbreaking, and enchanting us from the very first line -'Listen. Let me take you on a journey beyond imagining. Let me tell you a story'- this extraordinary book is anArabian Nightsfor our time.
Osama al-Kharrat left Lebanon at sixteen to escape the civil war. He returns after some years, much changed, to find his father bedridden and his family, friends and enemies in attendance, reminiscing, gossiping, making peace, and above all telling stories. 'Hakawati' means 'storyteller', and Osama's grandfather was one of the best. From Uncle Jihad to the family doctor ‘Tin Can’, each member of Osama's circle is joined in a vigil that crosses continents, spans centuries, celebrates love, recounts war, and creates an epic picture of the region: one that is at once mythic, mischievous, and painfully real.
