Dinner at the center of the earth
\"A prisoner in a secret cell. The guard who has watched over him a dozen years. An American waitress in Paris. A young Palestinian man in Berlin who strikes up an odd friendship with a wealthy Canadian businessman. And The General, Israel's most controversial leader, who lies dying in a hospital, the only man who knows of the prisoner's existence. From these vastly different lives Nathan Englander has woven a ... portrait of a nation riven by insoluble conflict, even as the lives of its citizens become fatefully and inextricably entwined\"-- Provided by publisher.
