520 1 $a"Rawi Hage's first novel plunges readers into the timely story of two young men caught in Lebanon's civil war. Bassam and George are childhood best friends who have grown to adulthood in war-torn Beirut. Now they must choose their futures: to remain amid the Arab capital's sectarian violence or to go into exile abroad, alienated from the only existence they have known. Bassam chooses to try to leave, and he embarks on a series of petty crimes to finance his departure. Meanwhile, George builds his power in the underworld of the city and embraces a life of military service, crime for profit, killing, and drugs. Told in a distinctive voice that fuses vivid cinematic imagery and a page-turning plot with the measured strength and beauty of Arabic poetry, De Niro'sGame is an explosive portrait of life in a war zone, and a powerful meditation on what comes after."--BOOK JACKET.
