The Illusion of Return Paperback / softback
by Samir El-Youssef
Paperback / softback
Description
After 17 years, the narrator and his friend, Ali, meet at Heathrow andslowly remember their past in a Palestinian camp in Lebanon.
Their memories are concentrated on one fatal night when they were with two other friends for the last time, before tragedy struck.
But for the narrator, a personal tragedy had occurred much earlier¿Like many other Palestinians, both Ali and the narrator had to leave Lebanon in the mid-1980s, when it became a battleground for local armies - Ali to America, the narrator to London. But this is not just a story about suffering, it is also about absurd politicsand violence - about a world where tragedy and comedy co-exist.
A poignant story that lingers long after one has finished it.
