One CENTURY of Solitude meets The Kite-Runner in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. On the third day of Ramadan, the village wakes to find the severed heads of nine of its sons stacked in banana crates by the bus stop. One of them belonged to 1 of the very most wanted men in Iraq, known to his friends as Ibrahim the Fated. How did this good and humble man earn the enmity of so many? What did he do to deserve such a death? The solution lies in his lifelong friendship with Abdullah Kafka and Tariq the Befuddled, who each has his own impressive story to share with. It lies on the scarred, irradiated battlefields of the Gulf War and in the ashes of any revolution strangled in its cradle. It lies in the steadfast love of his wife and the festering scorn of his daughter. And most importantly it lies behind the locked gates of this President's Gardens, buried alongside the countless victims of any pitiless reign of terror.
