Salim has always known that his father does not want him. Living with his parents and his adored Uncle Amir in a house full of secrets, he is a bookish child, a dreamer haunted by night terrors. It is the s and Zanzibar is changing. Tourists arrive, the island's white sands obscuring the memory of recent conflict--the longed-for independence from British colonialism swiftly followed by bloody revolution. When his father moves out, retreating into disheveled introspection, Salim is confused and ashamed. His mother does not discuss the change, nor does she explain her absences with a strange man; silence is layered on silence. When glamorous Uncle Amir, now a senior diplomat, offers Salim an escape, the lonely teenager travels to London for college. But nothing has prepared him for the biting cold and seething crowds of this hostile city. Struggling to find a foothold, and to understand the darkness at the heart of his family, he must face devastating truths about those closest to him--and about love, sex and power. Evoking the immigrant experience with unsentimental precision and profound understanding, Gravel Heart is a powerfully affecting story of isolation, identity, belonging, and betrayal, and Abdulrazak Gurnah's most astonishing achievement.

He was given this prestigious award for "his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents". In Gravel Hearthe does just that. Salim is a young man from Zanzibar who emigrated to London to further his education. There he is faced with many challenges. It's often difficult for young people to find their way and Salim is no exception. It is made more difficult because he moved to a new country with a different culture, where he knows no one but his charismatic and controlling uncle and his family. He struggles to do as his uncle wishes, wearing the clothes he chooses and attending business school. At first I enjoyed this book, when Salim was still a child growing up in Zanzibar. His parents separated and his father drew into himself, barely speaking to young Salim when he would bring him his meals each day. Salim, understandably, is confused by his silence, and neither of his parents explain why his father moved out. It might have been my mood that made me lose interest after Salim moved to London. At first I enjoyed reading about it but About Escort Abdulrazak Gurnah it became repetitive Salim dating various women, Salim writing letters to his mother, Salim wishing he could study literature instead of business. Eventually he returned to Zanzibar and my interest piqued again, but not as high as in the beginning. Like I said, it might have been my mood preventing me from enjoying it more.
Hibir ey de k- krtmyor, daha dorusu bariz olan h i b i r e y.
