Description
The Return: A Universal and Intensely Personal Tale Hisham Matar's memoir is a beautifully-written exploration of how history and politics can shape an individual life. The story of his father's kidnapping and disappearance in Libya, and his own journey to find him, is both a personal and universal tale of the human experience. The Return balances a detailed guide to Libya's recent history with the author's personal quest to uncover the truth about his father's fate. This moving memoir is a testament to the power of love, literature, and art to sustain us in the face of adversity. With lyrical prose and a deep understanding of the complexities of human experience, Hisham Matar's memoir is a compelling and thought-provoking read.
