Klappentext

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHYWINNER OF THE SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES' TOP 10 BOOKS OF 2016The Return is at once a universal and an intensely personal tale. It is an exquisite meditation on how history and politics can bear down on an individual life. And yet Hisham Matar's memoir isn't just about the burden of the past, but the consolation of love, literature and art. It is the story of what it is to be human.Hisham Matar was nineteen when his father was kidnapped and taken to prison in Libya. He would never see him again. Twenty-two years later, the fall of Gaddafi meant he was finally able to return to his homeland. In this moving memoir, the author takes us on an illuminating journey, both physical and psychological; a journey to find his father and rediscover his country.

ist diese wirre Aneinanderreihung von Erinnerungen, Spekulationen und Klageschriften des Autors. Ich hatte mir wenigstens etwas Hintergrundinformation zum sogenannten arabischen Frühling in Libyen erwartet, stattdessen ergeht sich der Autor in selbstmitleidigen Abschweifungen.

Interesting story but not superbly told

I decided to buy this book based on an NPR radio interview with the author that I heard soon after the book's release. He had such a wonderful speaking voice and delivery that it made me want to buy the book thinking and hoping that his prose would be as beautiful. It is.In addition, having lost my own father when I was barely 21 (although in much less complicated conditions than the author's), any story about fathers and sons always will catch my interest.In the end I couldn't give this a 5-star rating. Something was missing and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps it is that, while I can relate to the issue of a lost father and memories, I am not muslim or from the African continent...nor am I a political exile. Therefore, I couldn't relate completely to the author's pain and resolve.What I did get was a good education on Libya, of which I know only what I've seen in the news for the past 30 years. I learned more than I knew about Qaddafi's brutality and of the life of exiles throughout the continent and Europe. The prose is very nice and easy to read....sometimes too easy. I found myself going back to re-read some passages because I had a feeling I might have missed something beautiful or revealing. That was the case more often than I am proud to admit. The author was very successful in putting the reader---at least me---in a situation in which I pictured my father, my family and me in the same situation. It wasn't a pleasant feeling, but it wasn't meant to be. Many of us are very lucky just because we were born in a free country. This book will make you think of how lucky those people are indeed and just how un-lucky many others are.Overall, I recommend this book as a pleasant, informative, powerful and educational read that will make the reader reflect. It doesn't resolve as clearly as I had hoped, but it is not hard to suppose what happened after the book's end.

Interesting as recent history of Libya but too detailed because things that interest author because his relations etc too much for ordinary reader - weighs the book down. While highly praised and prize winning I felt it didn't say anything new about 'returning' everyone who has left their own country and lived elsewhere whether as an exile or as an ex-pat experiences a lot of what Matar experiences. His is intensified by disappearance of his father and terrible torturing etc under Gadaffi but probably no worse than what it is like for hundreds of thousands of current refugees. He was lucky because he went to England for an education and had contacts and one assumes was able to make a living. But good to read thinking of current stateless people.

This is a story of a nation in perpetual grieving over the grave tragic losses of precious lives, and the pervasive banality of evil everywhere and all the time. Sadly, this is one of many countries, and one of many family stories in our time and the current cold and intentional denial and rejection of aid by the international community and the leaders of powerful countries. It is a heartbreaking story of humanity, both its survival and repeated defeats, in its perpetual purgatory. The writing is so clear and precise, you can almost see the faces of his family, lovers of literature, theater, music, food, with the same rights and desires that we take for granted, imagine their lives, enjoying love for each other, love for the nature, the desert and the sea shattered by violence, despair, devastation, anxiety, anger.

I loved this book for its integrity and its understanding of Libya and the politics surrounding this country. I did not like it for how impersonal and cold it sometimes felt. Matar is intense. His singular obsession to find out what happened to his father is understandable. To have a father who clearly loved his country above all else is tough to take--and yet, his father is so admirable, and so weren't many others, who had to suffer because Quadafi was a lunatic. There was so much promise for Libya when Quadafi came into power--but because of the seductive reach of power, all goodness disappeared. One thing is for sure--all those US senators that had to have fifty million reports on the Benghazi incident haven't a clue about Libya.

Reading this book reminded me of the richness reading gives one in life. This book is good literature; and, good literature builds bridges of compassion and understanding by connecting cultures and the experiences of what it means to be human. Matar gives us a heart filled account of a son’s search for his father which is fully present without an ounce of sentimentality - a wonderful accomplishment.
