 est or download</a></p>\n<p>In the late 1970s\, Ziad Idilbi\, a Palestinia
 n refugee from Lebanon\, marries Salma\, a Lebanese refugee escaping the w
 ar in Beirut. Resolving to start over for the very last time\, the couple 
 opens a corner store in Toledo\, Ohio\, across from the General Motors fac
 tory\, where Toledo&rsquo\;s Arab community intermingles with the working 
 class. Over the decades\, whether it&rsquo\;s bigotry (pre- and post-9/11)
 \, financial ruin\, or terminal illness\, the Idilbis find themselves on l
 ife&rsquo\;s outskirts\, attempting to build something new.&nbsp\; Achingl
 y poignant and slyly funny\, the linked stories in Carryout follow the Idi
 lbis and their children as they teeter on the brink of catastrophe. Walid\
 , the youngest child of Ziad and Salma\, navigates the heartbreaks of yout
 h as well as the colorful characters who haunt his parents&rsquo\; corner 
 store. As he grows up into a writer\, Walid&rsquo\;s gaze fixes on his fat
 her and the long shadow of displacement and occupation. Mustafa\, the elde
 st son\, is forever trying to outrun the disasters that seem to seek him o
 ut\, while Nawal\, the only daughter\, is dumped by a friend and hatches a
  scheme to win her back. Unsure whether to run toward each other or away f
 rom each other\, the characters in Dudar&rsquo\;s exquisite debut suffer t
 he absurdities and indignities of life in America with wry obstinance and 
 striking wisdom.</p>\nhttps://toledo.libnet.info/event/17499072
