- Summary:
- "De Niro' s Game" plunges readers into the timely story of two young men caught in Lebanon' s civil war. Bassam and George, best friends in childhood, have grown to adulthood in war-torn Beirut. Now they must choose their futures: to stay in the city and consolidate power through crime, or to go into exile abroad, alienated from the only existence they have known. Told in a distinctive, captivating voice that fuses vivid cinematic imagery and page-turning plot with the measured strength and beauty of Arabic poetry, "De Niro' s Game" is an explosive portrait of life in a war zone, and a powerful meditation on what comes after.
