Welcome to Litsy!

Set in a remote desert village of Baghdad, the story is told through an unnamed narrator. Drops out of University due to America invasion. But the war is soon brought home to him in a series of violent incidences, which challenges his psychological foundation and brings out the fundamental in him.The book is a tough read, because it‘s so damn depressing.But it‘s a worthy, edifying read that leaves one deeply unsettled.

A brute is still a brute, even when he smiles; the eyes are where the soul declares its true nature.

Currently reading. Yasmina khadra is one of my favorite author.
