Walid Masoud disappears. A Palestinian intellectual, he has been living in Baghdad since the first Israeli War of 1948. Suspicion arises that he has gone underground as part of a political movement. He leaves behind a lengthy but disconnected tape recording of garbled utterances through which the author artfully crafts the basis for his novel.
