Men denne hans debutroman foregår i Libyen 1979, hvor hans far forsvinder - og så alligevel ikke er helt væk måske.
NYTimes skrev bl.a.: What can a child know about totalitarianism? In Hisham Matar’s exceptional first novel, this question transcends the psychological to yield something rare in contemporary fiction: a sophisticated storybook inhabited by archetypes, told with a 9-year-old’s logic, written with the emphatic and memorable lyricism of verse..... “In the Country of Men” brings to mind “1984,” “Fahrenheit 451” and the other great science fiction of totalitarianism in the way it posits a cruelly simplified and nonsensical universe. The young boy who is its first-person narrator can only sometimes make this world coherent.
