A review by boingloings
Death Is Hard Work by Khaled Khalifa, خالد خليفة
4.0
to say Arabic is a beautiful language is an understatement. english words cannot describe how immense, powerful, and beautiful arabic really is. it’s sad because people who aren’t arab / don’t understand arabic have been conditioned to perceive it as a violent, angry language. which of course it is not.
translator Leri Price did such a phenomenal job with translating this novel. and ofc goes without saying but the author did an absolute phenomenal job writing this realism story in war torn syria. it is thought provoking, heavy, and really really important
