One-the intellectual, terminally self-doubting, and avowedly autobiographical Hamdi-gets no further than southern Libya's fly-blown oasis of Sabha, while his cousin-the dashing, irrepressible Phantom Raider-makes it to the fleshpots of Milan. The backdrop of this darkly comic and unsentimental story of illegal immigration is a brutal Europe and Muammar Gaddafi's rickety, rhetoric-propped Great State of the Masses, where "the Leader" fantasizes of welding Libyan and Egyptian Bedouin into a new self-serving political force. Compelling and visceral, with a seductive, muscular irony, The Men Who Swallowed the Sun is an unforgettable novel of two men and their fellow migrants and the extreme marginalization that drives them."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a First published in Arabic in 2018 by Hamdi Abu Golayyel. 546 $a Translated from the Arabic. 650 0 $a Bedouins $z Egypt $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Egypt $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marginality, Social $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Bedouins. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00829496 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908690 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 $a Marginality, Social. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009156 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 700 1 $a Davies, Humphrey T. $q (Humphrey Taman), $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82EA7DD0DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
