Sinan Antoon’s “Index”
Index is without a doubt a literary achievement. The novel explores the limits of literature, and the impossibility for words and for any narrative to convey the extent of the destruction and the feeling of loss.
The story of a novel that cannot be written. Antoon’s fourth novel has been hailed as his best so far.
