Not sure how I feel about this book. Bits in there I quite liked - but I suppose anything was going to feel underwhelming after Hisham Matar. (Happy to report I’ve ordered more of his books, obvs -)

Started this. He writes so well. Such beauty in prose is rare.

C’est aussi un récit utile sur l’histoire récente de la Libye et peut-être la première fois qu’elle m’est racontée par un libyen, ce qui change la perspective. Fidèles.

No era sólo una alegoría o un estado mental, sino el ser como ciudad, humilde y particular pero nunca cognoscible del todo, ya que era un objetivo en continuo movimiento, cambiaba al contacto con cada influencia y según lo que le trajera el día.

5. My Friends - Hisham Matar
A meditation on exile. On losing home. On never being able to go back. And what that means and what that does.
Written around real life events, this is a stunning book.

Loved this for its looping, layered narrative, its London-walking and what it says about exile and friendship

Up on the blog today, my thoughts on the novel
My Friends by #HishamMatar recently winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2024.
An outstanding read and insight into exile, friendship and a life suspended.
clairemcalpine.com/2024/06/30/m...
After a #DNF at 27% I picked this up, knowing it was going to be great.
A chronicle of friendship, of solidarity among young men who can no longer return home to their country, to family.
Exile. The great leveller.
The unbecoming.
The in between.
Belonging, not belonging.
My Friends by #HishamMatar
