Fajer Al-Kaisi
Sinan Antoon returns to the Iraq war in a poetic and provocative tribute to reclaiming memory.
Widely-celebrated author Sinan Antoon's fourth and most sophisticated novel follows Nameer, a young Iraqi scholar earning his doctorate at Harvard, who is hired by filmmakers to help document the devastation of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. During the excursion, Nameer ventures to al-Mutanabbi street in Baghdad, famed for its bookshops, and encounters Wadood, an eccentric bookseller who is trying to catalogue everything destroyed by war, from objects, buildings, books and manuscripts, flora and fauna, to humans.
Entrusted with the catalogue and obsessed with Wadood's project, Nameer finds life in New York movingly intertwined with fragments from his homeland's past and its present-destroyed letters, verses, epigraphs, and anecdotes - in this stylistically ambitious panorama of the wreckage of war and the power of memory.

better on paper though. the story jumps from location and person often and is hard to follow just listening rather than seeing on paper. maybe it is just me.
one of my favorite authors
