Hisham Matar - The Anatomy of a Disappearance
Boekhandel van Rossum welcomed the author to give his first book reading when he passed through Amsterdam a few years ago. In the Country of Men is the fictionalized account of the Kaddafi terror of 1979 which forced Matar’s family to flee Libya. The evening was particularly special and we were delighted to see that the book made the short list of the Man Booker Prize in 2006.
The Anatomy of a Disappearance which has just been published and exhibits the same poetic writing style and puzzles within puzzles which characterized the first book is once again a delight to read. It is a haunting story of a young boy with conflicting feelings for the members of his family and the impact that a disappearance can have on those who are left behind. Irene, our store manager, and I will be recommending this book to all who will listen!!
