Maror

A GUARDIAN AND ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022'Spectacular. fascinating. astonishing. A literary triumph.' Jake Arnott, GuardianHow do you build a nation?It takes statesmen and soldiers, farmers and factory workers, of course. But it also takes thieves, prostitutes and policemen.Nation-building demands sacrifice. And one man knows exactly where those bodies are buried: Cohen, a man who loves his country. A reasonable man for unreasonable times.A car bomb in the back streets of Tel Aviv. A diamond robbery in Haifa. Civil war in Lebanon. Rebel fighters in the Colombian jungle. A double murder in Los Angeles.How do they all connect? Only Cohen knows.Maror is the story of a war for a country's soul – a dazzling spread of narrative gunshots across four decades and three continents.It is a true story. All of these things happened.Praise for Maror: 'A bloody beast of a book.' Daily Mail 'This is crime writing in the tradition of Balzac and Dickens and a major achievement, full of sound, fury, drugs and blood. An earthquake of a book.' CrimeTime 'Some write in ink, others in song, Tidhar writes in fire. Maror is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece, immense in its sympathies, alarming in its irreverences and altogether exhilarating.' Junot Díaz 'One of the boldest, most visionary writers I've ever read creates both a vivid political exploration and a riveting crime epic. It's like the Jewish Godfather!' Silvia Moreno-Garcia 'Maror blends the page-turning wit of a hard-boiled detective noir with the stirring intrigue of a multi-national political epic. An ambitious achievement that weaves a tapestry of both story and statement.' Kevin Jared Hosein 'Radiant with [.] the richly nuanced complexity and style of Marlon James' A Brief History of Seven Killings . Will catch your breath as it presents the history of Israel from unique points of view, with dazzling multi-generational scope.' LoveReading
