Childhood best friends Bassam and George have grown to be men in
war-ravaged Beirut. Now they must choose between the only two
futures available to them: to stay in the devastated city and
consolidate power through crime or to go into exile abroad,
alienated from the only existence they have ever known.
Told in a distinctive, captivating voice that fuses vivid
cinematic imagery, a page-turning plot, and exquisite, dark poetry,
"De Niro's Game" is an explosive portrait of life in a war zone and
a powerful meditation on what comes after. It won the prestigious
International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 2008.
