Description - De Niro's Game by Rawi Hage
Rawi Hage's breathtaking novel ells the stot of two young men struggking to survive in war-torn Beirut in the mid-80s. Childhood best friends, Lebanese Christian boys Bassam and George are faced with a choice: leave home and take their changes in a foreign city, or join the corrupt militia and try to gain a foothold in Beirut. Bassam becomes obsessed with emigration, and commits a series of petty crimes to fund his flight, while George amasses power in the milita-ruled underworld, living a life of violence and crime for profit. Inevitably, their separate paths collide, explosively and tragically. << With flesh-and-bolld characters, a gut-wrenching plot, and incandescent language that blends explosive, filmic prose with the beautiful, poignant imagery of traditional Middle Eastern poetry, Hage's novel has the power to transcend media images of the Middle East.<
