Libya, 1979. Nine-year-old Suleiman's days and nights are circumscribed by the narrow rituals of youth: outings to the ruins adjoining Tripoli, game titles with friends performed under the burning sun, exotic gift ideas from his father's frequent business trips in another country. But his evenings have come to revolve around his mother's progressively more disturbing bedside experiences filled with old family bitterness. And one day Suleiman considers his father over the square of the busy current market, his face twisted in a set of dark shades. Wasn't he supposed to be away on business just as before? Why is he entering that unusual building with the renewable shutters? Why do he lie? Suleiman is soon caught up in a world he cannot desire to understand - where the sound of calling calling becomes a portent of grave danger; where his mother frantically uses up his father's appreciated books; where a stranger filled with sinister questions sits outdoor in a parked car all day long; where his best friend's daddy can disappear right away, next to be seen publicly interrogated on status television. In the united states of Men is a stunning depiction of a child confronted with the private fallout of the public problem. But above all, this can be a debut of exceptional insight and literary sophistication.
