One of the most powerful war novels i ever read,
By
This review is from: The Stone of Laughter (Interlink World Fiction) (Paperback)
I'm thrilled to see the 'emerging voices' series on Amazon. Wonderful!.This book is one of the powerful, poignant books I have ever read about wars (and I've read a great deal). It tackles the deeper issues of violence -- how does the soul feel when confronted with violence, mindless violence, on a daily basis? how do people react? what happens to one's sensitivity? one's ability for honest laughter? one's interactions with others? Hoda Barakat delves into those issues - and does so courageously and poetically. She also presents them through the eyes of a homosexual man. Quite powerful!. Highly recommended - to Lebanese, to Arabs, and to all people interested in examining the effects of war and violence on every-day people. - Rania (a Lebanese-American)

A New Classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Stone of Laughter: A Novel (Emerging Voices. New International Fiction) (Hardcover)
What a brave author, tackling two controversial subjects in one single masterfully-written novel. Did I read it, dream it or live it?
