During the excursion, Nameer ventures to al-Mutanabbi street in Baghdad, famed for its bookshops, and encounters Wadood, an eccentric bookseller who is trying to catalogue everything destroyed by war, from objects, buildings, books and manuscripts, flora and fauna, to humans. Entrusted with the catalogue and obsessed with Wadood's project, Nameer finds life in New York movingly intertwined with fragments from his homeland's past and its present-destroyed letters, verses, epigraphs, and anecdotes-in this stylistically ambitious panorama of the wreckage of war and the power of memory. 410 0$aMargellos world republic of letters book. 606 $aArabic fiction$vTranslations into English 615 0$aArabic fiction 676 $a892.716 686 $aEN 3599$2rvk 700 $aAntoon$b Sinan, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0790052 701 $aWright$b Jonathan$0691843 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793431003321 996 $aThe Book of Collateral Damage$93683362 997 $aUNINA
