Sand Bodies

By (author) Rabih Salloum
Wrestling with inner demons and struggling to forge connections with his past - his mother, his roots, his departed brother, - Victor Zahr's pursuit of rock stardom is marred by loss of control, substance abuse, loneliness and betrayal. With a bold, irreverent voice reminiscent of literary bad boys Bret Easton Ellis and Michel Houellebecq, Rabih Salloum's debut novel Sand Bodies unfolds across the vibrant backdrops of Paris, Beirut, Scandinavia and Ibiza, embarking the reader on a contemporary tragedy that delves into themes of loss, guilt, exploitation, identity and the relentless pursuit of self-redemption.
