'A masterpiece of the sacred and the profane... A literary triumph.' Jake Arnott Guardian
How do you build a nation? It takes statesmen and soldiers farmers and factory workers of
course. But it also takes thieves prostitutes and policemen. Nation-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. A 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. How do they all connect? Only Cohen knows. Maror is the story
of a war for a country's soul - a dazzling spread of narrative gunshots across four decades and
three continents. It is a true story. All of these things happened. Praise for Maror : 'A
bloody beast of a book.' Daily Mail '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 '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 Díaz '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 ' 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 '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.' LoveReading
