Jake Arnott, Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow do you build a nation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes statesmen and soldiers, farmers and factory workers, of course. But it also takes thieves, prostitutes and policemen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNation-building demands sacrifice. And one man knows exactly where those bodies are buried: Cohen, a man who loves his country. A reasonable man for unreasonable times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA car bomb in the back streets of Tel Aviv. A diamond robbery in Haifa. Civil war in Lebanon. Rebel fighters in the Colombian jungle. A double murder in Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow do they all connect? Only Cohen knows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaror is the story of a war for a country's soul - a dazzling spread of narrative gunshots across four decades and three continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a true story. All of these things happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for Maror: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'A bloody beast of a book.' Daily Mail \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'This is crime writing in the tradition of Balzac and Dickens and a major achievement, full of sound, fury, drugs and blood... An earthquake of a book.' CrimeTime \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Some write in ink, others in song, Tidhar writes in fire... Maror is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece, immense in its sympathies, alarming in its irreverences and altogether exhilarating.' Junot Diaz \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'One of the boldest, most visionary writers I've ever read creates both a vivid political exploration and a riveting crime epic. It's like the Jewish Godfather!' Silvia Moreno-Garcia \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Maror blends the page-turning wit of a hard-boiled detective noir with the stirring intrigue of a multi-national political epic. An ambitious achievement that weaves a tapestry of both story and statement.' Kevin Jared Hosein \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Radiant with [...] the richly nuanced complexity and style of Marlon James' A Brief History of Seven Killings ... Will catch your breath as it presents the history of Israel from unique points of view, with dazzling multi-generational scope.'
