A Lebanese from Guatemala: The story of Khalil Musa

This book, written with an authenticity born of deep emotions, narrates the life of a self-made man in twentieth-century Guatemala. It is also the chronicle of his assassination and the impunity surrounding his crime, related by different circumstances with the assassination of Rodrigo Rosenberg and triggered one of the most enthralling episodes of contemporary Guatemalan history. Aziza Musa at times resorts to biographic intimacy and, at others, to journalistic language to build a narrative that for her is at the same time beloved and painful: that of her father. The result is a book that can be read in one sitting; a personal and collective x-ray, the image of a past that we must overcome inorder to look towards the future.
