Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Usama Al Shahmani is in the midst of the asylum process, without money or work, when his brother Ali disappears without a trace in Baghdad. He does not want to go to the safe south; if he must leave Baghdad, he asks Usama to bring him out of Iraq. But how can Usama raise the two thousand dollars needed for the escape to Beirut? Then comes the news of Ali's disappearance. While Usama is preoccupied with his arrival, messages from Iraq keep coming in. Images from the morgue, none of which show Ali. Shady characters from the high-security zone in Baghdad wanting bribes for supposed information. His mother's accusations that it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't fled. This personal story and a newly discovered relationship with nature in exile shape Usama Al Shahmani into a multifaceted novel about the balancing act of life between old and new homeland.
