Über diesen Titel
Sharif is a good person. He knows that he is good because he’s aware of the privilege that he holds as a white man. He knows he is good because he chose to be a social worker at a nonprofit in Brooklyn, scraping by in New York City. And he knows he is good because his wife, Adjoua, a progressive Black novelist, has always said so.
But Sharif’s goodness doesn’t protect him and Adjoua against bad luck. In an emergency, when they must find a new home for their beloved, unruly, giant dog before the imminent birth of their immunocompromised daughter, a desperate Sharif leaves Judy in the care of Emmanuel, an undocumented Haitian immigrant Sharif met through his social services nonprofit.
When Emmanuel agrees to take the dog, it is only a momentary relief. What begins as a dispute between the young couple and Emmanuel's teenage son soon draws both families into a maelstrom of unpredictable conflict. As tempers flare into a public uproar, escalating to social media and taken up by law enforcement, the cracks in Sharif and Adjoua’s marriage are exposed and they’re forced to question everything they thought about race, empathy, and if Sharif was ever good in the first place. Immersive and propulsive, The Uproar is the book we need to understand the moment we live in now.©2025 Karim Dimechkie (P)2025 Little, Brown & Company
Kritikerstimmen
"Tense, immersive, and provocative. The Uproar is at once a psychological drama and a bracing look at class, race, power, and marriage. Once you start reading, you won't want to stop for breath until the end."—Flynn Berry, author of Northern Spy
"The Uproar is at times hilarious, wise, insightful, and brave. It is at all times a pleasure."—Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated
"The Uproar is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the moment we live in now. Dimechkie drew me in with the twist-and-turns of this brilliantly plotted novel and kept me reading with his funny, complicated, and precisely drawn characters. By the end of the novel, I wasn't just moved by what happens to these characters—I was thinking more critically and deeply about my own morals and the type of person I want to be in the world. This book will stay with me."—Philipp Meyer, author of The Son
