Why read it?
1 author picked My Friends as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This new novel from Libyan writer Matar is mainly a story about the love between friends, especially male friends, but that love is set against displacement and trauma and the psychological difficulties of being separated from one's country, family, culture, and identity.
A contemplative, deeply thoughtful novel, it is totally engaging and searingly honest, just as much about being a human being as it is about political ideologies or survivor guilt.
From Helen's list on honest novels about being a refugee.
