Žohar
The unnamed protagonist has fled a war-torn Middle Eastern country and found refuge in a cold Canadian city. He is a refugee, a stranger trying to find meaning in life in a foreign land.
He brought with him great secrets – a family tragedy that he could not prevent and a youth woven with survival in war. And as he wanders the snow-covered streets, enters immigrant cafes and goes to psychotherapy, he falls in love with the beautiful girl Shoreh, also a refugee from the East, and realizes that he must become someone else, become what he did not dare to be in his past life… Cockroach, an exceptionally poetic novel by IMPAC-awarded Rawi Hage, describes with a lot of bitter humor and brilliant images the dramatic and turbulent life of young immigrants in the West in the new millennium.
