Beskrivning

A bold and innovative novel, I Am Ariel Sharon dives into the tortured mind of the controversial Israeli prime minister as he lies comatose and faces an ultimate reckoning.Award-winning Palestinian Canadian novelist Yara El-Ghadban imagines the confrontation at death’s door between Ariel Sharon, the “King of Israel,” and the women closest to him — his mother, his wives, and the mysterious nurse Rita. Like latter-day Greek furies, they lament the brutality of his life and maltreatment of the Palestinian people and demand he face up to his part in the bloodshed of Israel’s wars.Here is an extraordinary, magical, and impassioned story of nearly impossible empathy, the singular work of a novelist in full flight.

Recensioner i media

“Yara El-Ghadban, like any good novelist, is on the side of everyone who’s suffering, so all her characters feel real, contradictory, flawed, and alive. Now her crystalline French has been deftly and beautifully rendered into English by Wayne Grady: ‘I’m a grain of salt on the tongue of the earth. I dissolve in the mouths of the mountains of Sinai.’ This is a richly imagined, vitally important book.” — Steven Heighton, Governor General’s Literary Award–winning author of The Waking Comes Late
