Beschreibung

<b>'A masterpiece of the sacred and the profane... A literary triumph.' Jake Arnott, <i>Guardian</i></b> How do you build a nation? It takes statesmen and soldiers, farmers and factory workers, of course. But it also takes thieves, prostitutes and policemen. Nation-building demands sacrifice. And one man knows exactly where those bodies are buried: Cohen, a man who loves his country. A reasonable man for unreasonable times. A car bomb in the back streets of Tel Aviv. A diamond robbery in Haifa. Civil war in Lebanon. Rebel fighters in the Colombian jungle. A double murder in Los Angeles. How do they all connect? Only Cohen knows. <i>Maror</i> is the story of a war for a country's soul - a dazzling spread of narrative gunshots across four decades and three continents. It is a true story. All of these things happened. <b>Praise for <i>Maror</i>: </b> 'A bloody beast of a book.' <b><i>Daily Mail</i></b> 'This is crime writing in the tradition of Balzac and Dickens and a major achievement, full of sound, fury, drugs and blood... An earthquake of a book.' <b><i>CrimeTime</i></b> 'Some write in ink, others in song, Tidhar writes in fire... <i>Maror</i> is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece, immense in its sympathies, alarming in its irreverences and altogether exhilarating.' <b>Junot Díaz</b> 'One of the boldest, most visionary writers I've ever read creates both a vivid political exploration and a riveting crime epic. It's like the Jewish <i>Godfather</i>!' <b>Silvia Moreno-Garcia</b> '<i>Maror</i> blends the page-turning wit of a hard-boiled detective noir with the stirring intrigue of a multi-national political epic. An ambitious achievement that weaves a tapestry of both story and statement.' <b>Kevin Jared Hosein</b> 'Radiant with [...] the richly nuanced complexity and style of Marlon James' <i>A Brief History of Seven Killings</i> ... Will catch your breath as it presents the history of Israel from unique points of view, with dazzling multi-generational
