About this book

In the destroyed Golan village of al-Mansoura after the June 1967 war, the elderly farmer Idris remains alone among abandoned houses and wheat fields. With his family and companions gone, memory is his only vigilant presence, while his mind struggles to comprehend defeat and dispossession. Mamdouh Adwan’s first novel, a major work of post-1967 Syrian literature, explores land, loss and the intimate meaning of a military catastrophe through one solitary, dream-haunted figure.
