{"product_id":"confessions","title":"Confessions","description":"A powerful novel about trauma and forgiveness\nWinner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction\nFinalist for the PEN Translation Prize\nFinalist for the USA Translation Award During the violence and chaos of the Lebanese Civil War, a car pulls up to a roadblock on a narrow side street in Beirut. After a brief and confused exchange, several rounds of bullets are fired into the car, killing everyone inside except for a small boy of four or five. The boy is taken to the hospital, adopted by one of the assassins, and raised in a new family. “My father used to kidnap and kill people …” begins this haunting tale of a child who was raised by the murderer of his real family. The narrator of Confessions doesn’t shy away from the horrible truth of his murderous father―instead he confronts his troubled upbringing and seeks to understand the distortions and complexities of his memories, his war-torn country, and the quiet war that rages inside of him.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0811220672\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0811220672.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jaber, Rabee|Abu-Zeid, Kareem James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
