The Last Pomegranate Tree - Bachtyar Ali

Whenever he told a lie, something strange would happen. So begins The Last Pomegranate Tree, a phantasmagoric warren of fact, fabrication, and mystical allegory, set in the aftermath of Saddam Hussein''s rule and Iraq''s Kurdish conflict. An inlet to the recesses of a terrifying historical moment, and a philosophical journey of formidable depths, the book interrogates the origins and reverberations of atrocity. It also probes, with a graceful intelligence, unforgettable acts of mercy.
