De Niro's Game is the stunning winner of the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the
very first novel by up-and-coming Lebanese literary star Rawi Hage, also author
of Cockroach.
Bassam and George are childhood best friends who have grown up on the Christian
side of war-torn Beirut. Now on the verge of adulthood, they must choose their
futures: to remain in the exhausted, corrupt city of their birth, or to go into
exile abroad, cut off from the only existence they have known.
Bassam chooses one path - obsessed with leaving Beirut, he embarks on a series
of petty crimes to fund his escape to the West. Meanwhile, George amasses power
in the underworld of the city, embracing a life of military service, organised
crime, killing, and drugs. But their two paths inevitably
collide, with explosive consequences.
De Niro's Game is Rawi Hage's devastating, timely portrait of two young men and
an entire city formed and deformed by war.
