The writer experienced firsthand the persecution of Muammar Gaddafi's dictatorship when he fled the country with his parents in the 1970s. The distance from his homeland, however, did not shake the ideals of the family patriarch, Jaballa Matar, who continued his activism until he was kidnapped in Cairo and taken to the notorious Abu Selim prison in Tripoli. Only two letters have reached his family since then. His whereabouts have become a mystery. The constant fear that he was among the more than a thousand political prisoners executed in the prison in the 1990s haunted his son, who was deeply impacted by his disappearance. Hisham's fiction is heavily interwoven with his father's disappearance, his prose blending clever metaphors, precise details, provocative insight, and biographical facts. Anatomy of a Disappearance follows the transformations that the absence of a loved one shapes in those who remain. Nuri is a young boy when his mother dies. It seems nothing will fill the void her strange death leaves behind in the Cairo apartment he shares with his father. Until Mona. When Nuri, still a preteen, sees Mona for the first time, sitting in her yellow swimsuit by the pool of the small Magda Marina hotel, the rest of the world fades away. But it is Nuri's father that Mona falls in love with and eventually marries. And their happiness consumes the boy to the point that he wishes his father would disappear. However, Nuri will soon regret it. And as the world he and his stepmother share is shattered by events beyond their control, they both begin to realize how little they knew about the man they loved. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, the Guardian First Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award for his debut novel, In the Country of Men, Hisham Matar creates a poignant and tenderly beautiful novel.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176730050812,"sku":"9788501096326","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/8a4d50dbb242a949b3c5714f9b4a8dec_7dfb430b-38d5-47b3-ac59-30186018e05c.jpg?v=1778327084"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/hisham-matar.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
