Winner of the 2023 Katara Prize for Arabic Novel, The War follows Issa Saleh, an Omani man living in America whose fragile sense of reality unravels over a single winter night. As he searches for Krystyna-his anchor, caretaker, and unspoken love-memories from the Dhofar war surge back with hallucinatory force. Drifting between past and present, Issa confronts trauma, lost comrades, political betrayal, and the unnerving possibility that the man who returned from battle is not the same one who left. With cinematic scope and psychological depth, the novel explores exile, love, and the lingering wounds of war.
