Pulitzer Reward, Biography/Autobiography, 2017 From the author of In the Country of Men, a guy Booker Reward and National Book Critics Circle Honor finalist, comes a wonderfully written, uplifting memoir of his journey home to his indigenous Libya in search of the reality behind his father's disappearance. When Hisham Matar was a 19-year-old university student in Great britain, his daddy was kidnapped. One of the Qaddafi regime's most dominant opponents in exile, he was held in a secret prison in Libya. Hisham would never see him again. But he never quit expectation that his daddy might still be alive. "Hope," as he creates, "is cunning and consistent." Twenty-two years later, following the land of Qaddafi, the prison cells were vacant, and there is no signal of Jaballa Matar. Hisham came back with his mom and partner to the homeland he never thought he'd go back to again. The Return is the story of what he found there. It really is at once a perfect meditation on background, politics, and artwork; a brilliant family portrait of a land and a people on the cusp of change; and a disquieting depiction of the brutal legacy of definite power. Most importantly, this is a universal tale of reduction and love and of 1 family's life. Hisham Matar asks the harrowing question: How does one continue living in the facial skin of a adored one's uncertain fate?
