'A masterpiece of the sacred and the profane. A literary triumph. ' Jake Arnott, Guardian. How do you build a nation. It takes statesmen and soldiers, farmers and factory workers, of course. But it also takes thieves, prostitutes and policemen. Nation-building demands sacrifice. And one man knows exactly where those bodies are buried: Cohen, a man who loves his country. A reasonable man for unreasonable times. A car bomb in the back streets of Tel Aviv. A diamond robbery in Haifa. Civil war in Lebanon. Rebel fighters in the Colombian jungle. A double murder in Los Angeles. How do they all connect. Only Cohen knows. Maror. is the story of a war for a country's soul - a dazzling spread of narrative gunshots across four decades and three continents. It is a true story. All of these things happened. Praise for Maror. :. 'A bloody beast of a book. ' Daily Mail. 'This is crime writing in the tradition of Balzac and Dickens and a major achievement, full of sound, fury, drugs and blood. An earthquake of a book. ' CrimeTime. 'Some write in ink, others in song, Tidhar writes in fire. Maror. is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece, immense in its sympathies, alarming in its irreverences and altogether exhilarating. ' Junot Díaz. 'One of the boldest, most visionary writers I've ever read creates both a vivid political exploration and a riveting crime epic. It's like the Jewish Godfather. ' Silvia Moreno-Garcia. 'Maror. blends the page-turning wit of a hard-boiled detective noir with the stirring intrigue of a multi-national political epic. An ambitious achievement that weaves a tapestry of both story and statement. ' Kevin Jared Hosein. 'Radiant with [. ] the richly nuanced complexity and style of Marlon James' A Brief History of Seven Killings. Will catch your breath as it presents the history of Israel from unique points of view, with dazzling multi-generational scope. ' LoveReading.
