Of Loss and Lavender

Praise for The Book of Collateral Damage:

“An Iraqi scholar finds his New York life interconnected with his homeland’s past and present when he encounters an eccentric bookseller in Baghdad.” —New York Times Book Review

“Sinan Antoon is a master storyteller, and The Book of Collateral Damage reaffirms his place amongst some of our very best writers. Vividly imagined and sensitively told, this is a tale of one man’s exile and return, and all the distances traveled to find a semblance of home.” —Maaza Mengiste, author of Beneath the Lion’s Gaze
