[Book Review] The President’s Garden🦚

🧮 Score: 4.9/5.0

“A Stunning Read” - Newstalk. Indeed, it is.

■ If you love the works by Khaled Hosseini, you have to read this book. If you empathise with reading “Burned Alive” and “The Stoning of M. Soraya”, you will appreciate this book.

Love, anger, compassion, cruelty and more, are the flavour of life. This book took you on a journey. A glimpse of all the major events in Iraq and of its people. Of the local family system. Of the society’s hierarchy. Of the wars in the 40s, 60s, early 90s and of the revolution in the early 2000s. These chaotic conditions were the streaming backgrounds of the characters’ lives. The book indirectly highlighted the rumours surrounding crises in the Arab world. .

■ Originally authored in Arabic by Muhsin Al-Ramli, it was well-translated by Luke Leafgren. To me, the narration is flawless. In the first few chapters, it seems like a typical Arabic style of storytelling. As we go on, the content is not all over the place. It is well structured. It is deep, but not too deep. Like the curtains of our sights were lifted one at a time. All the small details meant something.

It is thought-provoking yet, did not burden too much. Borderline is gruesome and not. Slight adult content. Well-balanced emotions-play. Everyone is the protagonist in their own lives. Then, when their lives intertwined with others, it created another main story.

■ It began with the discovery of 9 heads found in a banana crate in a small village away from Baghdad, Iraq. One of the heads belongs to Ibrahim the Fated. And the story revolves around the people close to him during his lifetime.

When the President’s Garden was first revealed, I was still cruising, at best, I suspected a few jump-scares and “over-the-top wealthiness”. After time spent in the garden, never I imagined that I would be as shocked as the character was. Unexpectedly, arriving at that one scene, my jaws literally dropped. I was stunned, that I needed a few moments before resumed my reading. And moving forward, the penmanship never stops to impress us. It is amazing how complex this novel is, yet the author manages to convey them nonchalantly. .

■ Apart from the praise-worthy penmanship, what I like about this book is that, subtly, it calls out the wrongful things people did in the name of religion. Unlike “Burned Alive”, in displaying the barbaric, uncultured, materialistic human nature, this book also clarifies that those actions have nothing to do with Islam.

One more thing, the cover design is brilliant. At one glance, it looks like a typical Middle Eastern art with a peacock and swords to boast one's wealth. When you look again, you will notice more details, the hand grenades, bullets and AK-47. Good colour scheme, too.

■ The author played with our emotions till the end of the chapter. There is a sequel to this book titled: "Daughter of the Tigris" I do not have it, yet. But I am very much looking forward to it! I know, it will be as good as this one, if not more.

Reading list Dec 2024

On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Dave Grossman. It is required reading at the FBI Academy, the DEA Academy, the US Air Force NCO Academy, and other law enforcement agencies and military schools around the US. The book is based on S.L.A. Marshall's theory that the majority of soldiers in war do not ever fire their weapons due to an innate resistance to killing.

Hadji Murad by Leo Tolstoy. One critic said of the book "[it is] my personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the world." Written 50 years after its events, the story is about a real-life Avar rebel commander. Tolstoy described Murad as "the leading dare-devil and ‘brave’ of all Chechnya".

The Old Words by kvikindi/@septembriseur A Helmut Zemo & Winter Soldier (MCU) fanfic. Content warnings: discussion of violence, suicide, war crimes including death, child death, sexual assault. The author notes she is clear Zemo did not rape, but looking back, that is ridiculous.

Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster by Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel Laureate, originally published in Russian in 1997 as Chernobyl Prayer, 9 years after the disaster. She interviewed more than 500 eyewitnesses, including firefighters, liquidators (members of the cleanup team), politicians, physicians, physicists, and ordinary citizens over a period of 10 years.

Daughter of the Tigris by Muhsin Al-Ramli. A beautiful urbane woman marries a sheikh so she can travel Iraq searching for the corpse of her father. Sequel to The President's Gardens which was longlisted for the IPAF, known as the "Arabic Booker".

Chasing the Flame: One Man's Fight to Save the World by Samantha Power, Pulitzer Prize winner, a biography of Sergio Vieira de Mello. De Mello worked for the UN for 30 years, and was positioned to be the UN Secretary-General, before his 2003 death in Iraq. A profile in courage and humanity--and an unforgettable meditation on how best to manage the deadly challenges of the twenty-first century. His career involved peace negotiations in post-invasion Lebanon, the repatriation of Cambodian refugees, and the cease-fire talks in Bosnia, among others.

Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin. A reporter in 1959 darkens his skin and travels around the American South to document racism. He later worked with Civil Rights leaders like Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

The Women in Black by Madeleine St John. The author has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize. A 'meringue' of a novel about several Australian women working for a department store in 1959 Sydney, contrasted with some Continental (European) refugees. Has a movie and an upcoming TV series.

Lee Lockwood: Castro's Cuba: An American Journalist's Inside Look At Cuba, 1959-1969 by Saul Landau This volume includes Lockwood’s photographs of Cuba and Castro, many insightful observations, and extensive excerpts from the legendary Lockwood-Castro conversations. Between 1959 and 1969, photojournalist Lee Lockwood documented Cuba and Fidel Castro with unprecedented freedom and access, including a marathon seven-day interview with Castro himself.

Daring to Drive by Manal al-Sharif Memoir of a Saudi woman known for leading the #Women2Drive movement challenging the ban on women driving in Saudi Arabia. Also covers other topics including Saudi prisons, female genital mutilation, author's marriage.

Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah #1 “Language, even more than color, defines who you are to people.” #2 “The way my mother always explained it, the traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women. He’s attracted to independent women. “He’s like an exotic bird collector,” she said. “He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.”

Little Boy Lost by Marghanita Laski Hilary Wainwright, widower, poet, intellectual, returns after the war to a blasted and impoverished France in order to trace a child lost five years before.

A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel Described by septembriseur as the book that had the most impact on them. Hilary Mantel won the Booker Prize twice.

Sing and Shout: The Mighty Voice of Paul Robeson by Susan Goldman Rubin Biography of a singer, actor, and activist. What I found interesting was his positive attitude of Europe compared to America regarding their treatment of him as a black person.

[balaenopterazolo-blog]

Literally have not found a single good thing to read since the months ago when I revisited The Old Words by kvikindi (author above). I read Patrick Modiano's Scene of the Crime which got me writing, even though it's boring as all heck. I got through it because I was reading it out loud the entire time which somehow makes everything better. My friend is right: humans are designed to speak stories, not read them.

To read: Voices from Chernobyl; short stories of Hassan Blasim and Jamil Jan Kochai; and Hadji Murad. Hopefully they do it.

I have been reading and screenshotting/taking photos of sections of:

Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin

The Sergio Vieira de Mello biography (Chasing the Flame) by Samantha Power (haven't finished reading)

On Killing: The The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Dave Grossman (haven't finished reading)

So that when I want to reread them, I can just go through my quotes folders. I recommend all of them.

Anyways, my reply to @septembriseur was:

Looking at my Goodreads: Hadji Murad by Tolstoy's been described before as the best story ever written, so I'm trying that. It's about a Chechen. It sounds like you'd like Daughter of the Tigris, by Muhsin Al-Ramli, with how you like Middle Eastern literature. I'll be rereading it because I don't remember if it was good or really good. I also recommend the nonfiction Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich. (an oral history). Though I can't imagine descriptions as if they're real so it wasn't too depressing for me. The quote I copied to the title page: "We're all peddlers of the apocalypse" "hide from the atom" "the mythology of Chernobyl" "faith in the land, in their ancient peasant experience". And two excerpts: "The only thing I have is a cow. I'd hand her in if only they wouldn't start another war. How I hate war!" &, There was a Ukrainian woman at the market selling big red apples. 'Come get your apples! Chernobyl apples!' Someone told her not to advertise that, no one will buy them. 'Don't worry!' she says. 'They buy them anyway. Some need them for their mother-in-law, some for their boss.'

(Those are some pretty comical excerpts, but there's the expected amount of death and horror.)

what sort of books do you like? Do you have any recommendations?

Hmm. What sort of books do I like. Right now I read essentially two types of book: (1) solid decent crime novels and/or higher-end urban fantasy (Matthew Swift; Felix Castor), which are almost impossible to sort from the floods and floods of garbage that get published; (2) non-fiction. Right now in the second category I’m reading, on and off:

The Makalat of Haji Bektash Veli

On Time: Technology and Temporality in Modern Egypt, by On Barak

Temptations of the West, by Pankaj Mishra

A Map of Longings: The Life and Works of Agha Shahid Ali, by Manan Kapoor

The Dinosaur Artist, by Paige Williams

Someday I might even finish these books. At least I finished Language City.

I am essentially allergic to contemporary Serious Fiction. Like, I kind of want to read Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr!, but my distrust of and disgust for contemporary serious fiction has so far prevented me. Exceptions: I do like Jeff VanderMeer’s Borne, but I’ve hated everything that Jeff VanderMeer has written since. I like the short stories of Hassan Blasim and Jamil Jan Kochai. There’s some less recent stuff that I’ve loved— Hilary Mantel’s A Place of Greater Safety remains the book that’s had the greatest influence on me, and I love it though it has its flaws. Pat Barker’s Regeneration Trilogy— this had its greatest impact on my when I was having serious binocular vision problems and was absorbing all my extramural reading through audiobook, so my memories of it are tied up with the wonderful Peter Firth recording.

There’s probably some stuff I’m forgetting. I don’t know. Poetry would be its own post and I similarly am allergic to most contemporary poetry. I can be more specific if you’re looking for more specific recommendations?

Also, other people should feel free to use this post to recommend stuff to me.

Iraq. Village living. City life. Three friends. Family. Secret. Saddam Hussein. Gulf War. Iran. The Invasion. Oppression. Terror. Generational stories.

Weltanschauung!

[bookriot]

If you scour the internet for Iraqi novels, you’ll find dozens of lists and list-essays. But these pieces—15 Great Books About Iraq, Afghanistan or The Iraq Novel We’ve Been Waiting For or I’m Not the Enemy or A Reading List of Modern War Stories—give us the perspective of the US soldier, journalist, and aid worker.

What they tell us very little about is Iraq.

Two years after the invasion, in 2005, USA Today reported that more than 300 books had been published in English about the war and ongoing occupation. By now, an Amazon search turns up more than 3,800. A number of them have been critically and commercially successful: American Sniper, The Final Move Beyond Iraq, War Stories, Redeployment, Yellow Birds.

Yet in the first ten years after the invasion, exceptionally few novels by Iraqi authors had been published in English.

That has been changing. This year, we saw the publication of Muhsin al-Ramli’s The President’s Gardens, translated by Luke Leafgren; the sci-fi collection Iraq + 100, edited by Hassan Blasim and Ra Page; and Baghdad Eucharist, by Sinan Antoon, translated by Maia Tabet. There are novels by Iraqi authors now. Here’s some of the best.
