Matar’s
The Return
is about suffering. People suffering under Qaddafi and after the
Arab Spring. Returning to Libya, Matar desired to “cure himself
of his country.” He describes his father “as obsessed with the
past and future, with returning to and remaking Libya” while his
mother was “devoted to the present.” Write a children’s book
similar to the story told by Matar from the perspective of
different members of his family or outsiders.
