Description
Winner of the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature, Empty Cages is an urgent and raw confessional of memory and family and all that is lost and won in one woman's lifetime
The discovery of an old tin of chocolates, its contents long ago devoured, marks the entry into this intimate story that reaches back through a lifetime of memories in search of self and home. In celebration and suffering, triumph and disappointment, Qandil's voice is unflinching, revealing both a determination to speak the truth and a poetic sensitivity that is disarming. Reflecting on a family disintegrating--and with it, perhaps, a whole way of life--memories of a happy childhood melt away to reveal the fecklessness of selfish older brothers, a father's addiction, a mother's illness, and the violence and death--both literal and figurative--of those nearby. Recipient of the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature, this stunning fictional debut marks the arrival of a stunning new voice.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
