Gripping, provocative, and revelatory, "Links" is a novel that will
stand as a classic of modern world literature. Jeebleh is returning
to Mogadiscio, Somalia, for the first time in twenty years. But
this is not a nostalgia tripahis last residence there was a jail
cell. And who could feel nostalgic for a city like this? U.S.
troops have come and gone, and the decimated city is ruled by clan
warlords and patrolled by "qaat"-chewing gangs who shoot civilians
to relieve their adolescent boredom. Diverted in his pilgrimage to
visit his motheras grave, Jeebleh is asked to investigate the
abduction of the young daughter of one of his closest friendas
family. But he learns quickly that any act in this city,
particularly an act of justice, is much more complicated than he
might have imagined.
