'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
