Description
The Storyteller by Pierre Jarawan is one of World Edition’s top sellers. Published in Spring 2019, the title continues to sell at a rate of 60 copies a month. Jarawan’s work appeals to readers of commercial fiction, and sells far beyond the limited readership of translated literature. The Storyteller was an Indie favorite, with over 20 US booksellers blurbing the title, and enough bookseller interest to sustain a 6-week author tour across the US with over 20 events. With the publication of Song for the Missing, we will build on our extensive marketing campaign for The Storyteller, which is summarized here: http://bit.ly/PierreJarawan Song for the Missing will appeal to the same target group of readers and booksellers who have embraced The Storyteller. Set in post-war Lebanon, this novel full of secrets and suspense, friendship and loss, and finally makes readers understand the crisis in the Middle East in a way no newspaper can. Jarawan interweaves a deeply personal story with the tumultuous history of the Middle East, and breaks a taboo by asking what happened to the 17,000 missing in Lebanon, who disappeared during the civil war without a trace.
