Summary:
"Said Al-Wahid hat seinen Reisepass überall dabei, auch wenn er nur in den Supermarkt geht. Zusammen mit seiner Frau Monica und dem Sohn Ilias lebt er in Berlin-Neukölln. Said möchte Schriftsteller werden und veröffentlicht ertse Texte in Literaturzeitschriften. Auf dem Rückweg von einer Lesung erhält er die Nachricht, seine Mutter liege im Sterben. Zum ersten Mal seit Jahren reist er in das Land seiner Herkunft. Je näher er Said seiner in Bagdad verbliebenen Familie kommt, desto tiefer gehen die Erinnerungen zurück, an die Jahre des Ankommens in Deutschland, an die monatelange Flucht über Afrika nach Europa und schließlich an die Kindheit im Irak. Welche Erinnerungen fehlen, welche sind erfunden und welche sind verfälscht? Said weiß es nicht. Es ist seine Rettung bis heute"-- Schutzumschlag
Said Al-Wahid takes his passport with him everywhere, even if he only goes to the supermarket. He lives in Berlin-Neukölln with his wife Monica and their son Ilias. Said wants to be a writer and publishes his first texts in literary magazines. On the way back from a reading he received the news that his mother was dying. For the first time in years he is traveling to his country of origin. The closer he gets to his family in Baghdad, the deeper the memories go back, to the years of arrival in Germany, to the months of fleeing to Europe via Africa and finally to his childhood in Iraq. Which memories are missing, which are made up and which are falsified? Said doesn't know. It is his salvation to this day" -- Dust jacket
