Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Fajer Al-Kaisi’s narration is nothing short of exceptional, bringing to life the nuances and emotions of Sinan Antoon's tale. His voice is rich and layered, perfectly capturing the complexity of Nameer’s journey as he navigates his academic pursuits in America while grappling with the memories of Iraq. The pacing is masterful—slowing down in introspective moments and speeding up during dynamic scenes, creating a compelling narrative flow. However, some critics might find the poetic language slightly overwhelming at times. Despite this, ‘The Book of Collateral Damage’ remains a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of history and personal story. Al-Kaisi’s performance ensures that every line resonates with authenticity and depth.
