"His book tells the story of a family living under Gaddafi in the 60’s and 70’s, from the perspective of a young boy. The boy’s father falls under suspicion and Matar’s book describes the tale of what unfolds in the neighborhood, the mistrust and bet...more

UChicagoLaw added: The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper	My rating:
"When you account for the repetition within the book, creates a feeling a bit like what I imagine life is like on that whaling ship. At least the facts are fairly clear." -Adam Samaha
