Anatomy of a Disappearance - Hisham Matar

sinopsis :

Nuri is a young boy when his mother dies. It seems that nothing will fill the emptiness that her strange death leaves behind in the Cairo apartment he shares with his father. Until they meet Mona, sitting in her yellow swimsuit by the pool of the Magda Marina hotel. As soon as Nuri sees her, the rest of the world vanishes. But it is Nuri’s father with whom Mona falls in love and whom she eventually marries. And their happiness consumes Nuri to the point where he wishes his father would disappear.
Nuri will, however, soon regret what he wished for. His father, long a dissident in exile from his homeland, is taken under mysterious circumstances. And, as the world that Nuri and his stepmother share is shattered by events beyond their control, they begin to realize how little they knew about the man they both loved.

Anatomy of a Disappearance is written with all the emotional precision and intimacy that have won Hisham Matar tremendous international recognition. In a voice that is delicately wrought and beautifully tender, he asks: When a loved one disappears, how does their absence shape the lives of those who are left ?


Saya lagi baca karya Hisham Matar yaitu In the Country of Men. Karya pertama dari Hisham ini langsung berhasil masuk short listed Man Booker Prize 2006. Cerita di novel kedua ini mengambil dari kisah hidupnya, Ayahnya ditangkap agen rahasia Mesir dan semenjak itu keberadaannya tidak diketahui. Jadi saya penasaran dengan novel kedua Hisham Matar ini. :)
