FINALIST FOR THE 2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED LITERATUREThe new novel Planet Of Clay gives a haunting and unflinching look at the horrors of war - the bombing, the starvation, the fear - all seen through the eyes of Rima, a young girl with a vibrant imagination." NPR Planet of Clay is a devastating novel about human resilience and fragility in a time of war. Foreword Reviews, starred reviewRima, a young girl from Damascus, longs to walk, to be free to follow the will of her feet, but instead is perpetually constrained. Rima finds refuge in a fantasy world full of colored crayons, secret planets, and The Little Prince, reciting passages of the Qur an like a mantra as everything and everyone around her is blown to bits. Since Rima hardly ever speaks, people think she s crazy, but she is no fool the madness is in the battered city around her. One day while taking a bus through Damascus, a soldier opens fire and her mother is killed. Rima, wounded, is taken to a military hospital before her brother leads her to the besieged area of Ghouta where, between bombings, she writes her story. In Planet of Clay, Samar Yazbek offers a surreal depiction of the horrors taking place in Syria, in vivid and poetic language and with a sharp eye for detail and beauty.
