Review:
"Farah takes his well-deserved place beside Chinua Achebe and V. S. Naipaul. . . . He writes of the country lost to him with passion and pain, in a voice that is lyrical and incisively intelligent."
Nuruddin Farah, the most important African novelist to emerge in the past twenty-five years. ("The New York Review of Books") It's easy to see why Nuruddin Farah's name keeps coming up as a likely recipient of a Nobel Prize in Literature. ("Newsweek")

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition; First Printing. New book, unmarked, in crisp glossy DJ. But for two faint areas where sticker removal has dulled the finish. ; 1.2 x 8.9 x 6.3 Inches; 336 pages; Jeebleh is returning to Mogadiscio from New York for the first time in twenty years. It is not a nostalgia trip for him-Jeebleh's last residence here was a jail cell. And who could feel nostalgic for a city like this? The U.S. troops have recently come and gone, and the decimated city is ruled by clan warlords and patrolled by qaat-chewing gangs who shoot civilians to relieve their adolescent boredom. Jeebleh is returning to visit his mother's grave and to settle her outstanding accounts-but more urgently, the youngest member of his oldest friend's family has been abducted. Though they have not seen each other in two decades, Jeebleh knows from their childhood that his friend-a virtual brother, who remained in Somalia when Jeebleh left-will need Jeebleh to step in. Jeebleh is determined to cut through the swirling violence and corruption to rescue the little girl-and, perhaps, a piece of his own identity. Gripping, provocative, and revelatory, Links is the finest work yet from Farah, a novel that will secure his place in the international literary firmament and stand as a classic of modern world literature.
