And now for something completely different...This might just be the oddest book I have ever encountered. The writing style is so strange, the meanderings so unusual, that they all but defy description.As the book opens, we meet our gay Iraqi protagonist as he arrives at the Seattle airport, where he hears and then sees his long-ago black American soldier lover ... or does he? As he settles into his new life, we follow along with his meanderings in Seattle and in his memories.Because no "look inside" feature is available as I type, here is a sample passage:**********Behind me, the students who thought I might be a reincarnation of the Twelfth Imam, who lived for thirteen hundred years, began to titter as they compared Morise's complexion to black coal and to a popular type of Iraqi candy, which, because its logo was a drawing of a Black boy, Iraqis commonly called “slave's head.” My acolytes whispered in my ear, “Be careful! Today is Thursday!” At first, I didn't understand what they meant. Then I remembered that many people joke that Black Iraqis go berserk Thursday evenings and practice healing trances and spirit possession while invoking African deities. They are alleged to turn into psychotic spastics who act with uncontrollable fury and emotion. Morise didn't understand their Arabic, and that was lucky for all of us. So many things happened during the few meters I traversed to Morise that they seemed to last more than a few minutes. Sensing that time had become viscous and dense, I had trouble transiting the remaining seconds that separated me from Morise, whose name I had not yet learned...Morise welcomed me in Arabic: “Marhaba.” Then he took a small pad form his pocket and began to flip through it, glancing at a list of words he seemed to have learned from passersby, recording them during his brigade's long journey north to Baghdad, because these words, which he pronounced in a very original manner, came from many Iraqi dialects. He was researching how to ask “How are you?” but before he found that, he uttered the Arabic equivalents of dirty words like “c***” and phrases like “son of a b****” and “let me **** your sister.” He concluded this string of foul expressions with the Arabic for “I am honored to make your acquaintance.”**********Some readers will have an immediate interest in the subject matter while others will have turned away at the "colorful language" in the above passage. If you find yourself on the fence, consider choosing this book. It will provide you with that rarest of things, a truly unique reading experience.NOTE: This book was acquired in my daughter's account and shared via Amazon's Family Library feature.
