To lay bare the ugly truths, they form the protest group Fuada's Kids. Their righteous transgressions have made them targets of both Sunni and Shi'a extremists. They've also elicited the concern of Fahd's grandmother, Mama Hissa, a story-spinning font of piety, wisdom, superstition, and dire warnings, who cautions them that should they anger God, the sky will surely fall. Then one day, after an attack on his neighborhood leaves him injured, Katkout regains consciousness. His friends are nowhere to be found. Inundated with memories of his past, Katkout begins a search for them in a world that has become unrecognizable but not forsaken. Snaking through decades of Kuwaiti history well into a cataclysmic twenty-first century, Mama Hissa's Mice is a harrowing, emotional, and caustic novel of rebellion. It also speaks to the universal struggle of finding one's identity and a reason to go on, even after the sky has fallen."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Friendship $z Kuwait $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Extremists $z Kuwait $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kuwait $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grandmothers $z Kuwait $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hussain, Sawad $c (Translator), $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200227010900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=011C98F8592F11EAA5EA830F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
