About the Author
Rawi Hage was born in Beirut and lived through nine years of the Lebanese civil war. He is a writer, a visual artist, and a curator, and he resides in Montreal. First published in Canada, De Niro's Game was a finalist for that nation's top literary prizes—the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Governor General's Literary Award, the Writers' Trust Award, and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize—and won the McAuslan First Book Prize and the Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction.
Review
“...a hallucinatory vision of how war corrupts even friendship. Written in English and calling upon Arabic poetry and French philosophy, De Niro’s Game forms an intriguing trilingual hybrid that should cement its appeal worldwide.” (Washington Post)
“...an impressive first outing for Hage.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
“East meets West in this stunning first novel yielding a totally fresh perspective on war-torn Beirut.” (Booklist (starred review))
“...the language, restless, enervated, slides from blunt and colorless to the candenced, figuring [the protagonist’s] world’s endless cycle of revolution and despair...Remarkable.” (Los Angeles Times)
“Hage brilliantly condenses these short, incendiary lives: while the setting is relatively contemporary, the conflict and language are centuries old.” (The Guardian (London))
“...vividly evocative of the chaos of conflict and the moral confusion of young men. (Daily Telegraph (London))
“...Hollywood noir meets opium dreams in a blasted landscape of war-wasted young lives.” (Boston Globe)
“Rawi Hage’s debut novel burns with a white-hot brilliance...” (Charlotte Observer)
“...you’ll find it hard not to think of the fevered dream of Howl.” (Village Voice)
“...a soaring, lyrical triumph...this novel isn’t reportage; it’s troubling and transcendent art. (Washington City Paper)
“Hage is a talented and versatile writer who will certainly raise the threshold of Anglophone Arab-Canadian fiction.” (The International Fiction Review (online))
“Oustanding...this extraordinary novel of two young men surrounded by the violence and tragedy of the Lebanese Civil War hits you in the stomach. Do support it.” (Bookseller (London))
“Canadian author Rawi Hage’s exhilarating debut novel captures a dreamlike, cacophonous Beirut during the Lebanese civil war...Hage’s scattergun prose[’s]... impact lingers long after the last bomb has landed.” (The Observer (England))
“It is a viciously intense, poetically raw story, interspersed with moments of dark humor...” (BookBrowse.com)
