About This Item
Chapel Hill, NC:: Algonquin Books,, 2008.. SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy.). First printing. Winner of the National Book Critics Award for Autobiography: � "When Ariel Sabar was growing up in California during the 1980s, the generational divide between he and his immigrant father was strained to the breaking point. . . . his teen-age self could find no sympathy for a dad who had Òsublimated homesickness into a career.Ó [but] after his own son was born in 2002, his perspective about his own heritage changed, and he began the quest to understand his fatherÕs life and the culture Yona Sabar was struggling to preserve. The upshot is an book that operates on several levels: as the story of the relationship between father and son, as testimony to a man with a mission, and as the portrait of a nearly forgotten people. . . an alternate view of Iraq and its history." INSCRIBED on the title page - "For . . . with many thanks". Bibliography. 332 pp,
