Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. A powerful meditation on memory and identity, fictionalized through a boy's experience growing into manhood in the Lebanese civil wars. Identity is what we make of it, but when the validity of one's memories are called into question it complicates matters considerably. Even more so when one's life is built on a fundamental lie. A fascinating and disturbing book drawing no facile conclusions about complex matters. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
During the violence and chaos of the Lebanese Civil War, a car pulls up to a roadblock on a narrow side street in Beirut. After a brief and confused exchange, several rounds of bullets are fired into the car, killing everyone inside except for a small boy of four or five. The boy is taken to the hospital, adopted by one of the assassins, and raised in a new family. "My father used to kidnap and kill people..." begins this haunting tale of a child who was raised by the murderer of his real family. The narrator of Confessions doesn't shy away from the horrible truth of his murderous father-instead he confronts his troubled upbringing and seeks to understand the distortions and complexities of his memories, his war-torn country, and the quiet war that rages inside of him.
