具體描述
From the author of In the Country of Men, a Man Booker Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, comes a beautifully written, uplifting memoir of his journey home to his native Libya in search of the truth behind his father’s disappearance.
When Hisham Matar was a nineteen-year-old university student in England, his father was kidnapped. One of the Qaddafi regime’s most prominent opponents in exile, he was held in a secret prison in Libya. Hisham would never see him again. But he never gave up hope that his father might still be alive. “Hope,” as he writes, “is cunning and persistent.”
Twenty-two years later, after the fall of Qaddafi, the prison cells are empty and there is no sign of Jaballa Matar. Hisham returns with his mother and wife to the homeland he never thought he’d go back to again. The Return is the story of what he found there. It is at once an exquisite meditation on history, politics, and art, a brilliant portrait of a nation and a people on the cusp of change, and a disquieting depiction of the brutal legacy of absolute power. Above all, it is a universal tale of loss and love and of one family’s life. Hisham Matar asks the harrowing question: How does one go on living in the face of a loved one’s uncertain fate?

##R4 read by Khalid Abdalla. NY-- Tripoli, Libya-- Cairo--London
評分##對政局，動蕩和死亡有思考，但是並沒有引起我這樣一個中國大陸讀者的共鳴。
評分###83 悲傷但不沉重，我想這也是作者的心態瞭吧。流亡作傢和移民作傢讀得越多，對自己和國傢之間關係的檢視就越深刻且不可避免地越痛苦。
評分##花瞭一天半的時間幾乎是一口氣讀完瞭，What a story... | I wish at least I had some happy man/ as father, growing old in his own house--/ but unknown death and silence are the fate/ of him | 那些無知的人類 何時纔能為惡行懺悔
評分##冒昧地問一句，作者這樣背景的人，對“故鄉”的情感到底是怎麼建立起來的？我覺得我和他無法共情。。。
評分##歸去 聽書所得
評分在你過著當下小小的你的生活的時候，這世界時時刻刻在發生著超齣你理解底綫的事情。
評分###83 悲傷但不沉重，我想這也是作者的心態瞭吧。流亡作傢和移民作傢讀得越多，對自己和國傢之間關係的檢視就越深刻且不可避免地越痛苦。
