 blisher:</p>\n<p>In a tiny Beirut apartment\, sixty-three-year-old Raja an
 d his mother live side by side. A beloved high school philosophy teacher a
 nd "the neighborhood homosexual\," Raja relishes books\, meditative walks\
 , order\, and solitude. Zalfa\, his octogenarian mother\, views her son&rs
 quo\;s desire for privacy as a personal affront. She demands to know every
  detail of Raja&rsquo\;s work life and love life\, boundaries be damned.</
 p>\n<p>When Raja receives an invite to an all-expenses-paid writing reside
 ncy in America\, the timing couldn&rsquo\;t be better. It arrives on the h
 eels of a series of personal and national disasters that have left Raja lo
 nging for peace and quiet away from his mother and the heartache of Lebano
 n. But what at first seems a stroke of good fortune soon leads Raja to rec
 ount and relive the very disasters and past betrayals he wishes to forget.
