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 607 $aIraq$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtCBPBdMfmXtd4M8cvJXd 608 $aNovels.$2lcgft 608 $aFictional Work. 608 $aNovels.$2fast 608 $aFiction.$2fast 608 $aTranslations.$2fast 608 $aRomans.$2rvmgf 615 0$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 $a9910968958903321 996 $aThe Book of Collateral Damage$94354606 997 $aUNINA
