Description
A bloody beast of a book, Maror is a dazzling spread of narrative gunshots across four decades and three continents. It's a true story, with events that include a car bomb in Tel Aviv, a diamond robbery in Haifa, civil war in Lebanon, rebel fighters in the Colombian jungle, and a double murder in Los Angeles. This ambitious achievement weaves a tapestry of both story and statement, blending the page-turning wit of a hard-boiled detective noir with the stirring intrigue of a multi-national political epic. Lavie Tidhar's writing is radiant with complexity and style, drawing comparisons to the works of Marlon James and A Brief History of Seven Killings. With its richly nuanced exploration of nation-building and sacrifice, Maror is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece that will leave readers on the edge of their seats.
