Winner of the Northern California Book Award, the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction, and the Arab American Book Award for Fiction "A sprawling fever dream of a novel, by turns beautiful and horrifying, and impossible to forget . . . When Alameddine aims for the heart, he doesn't miss, and he hits hard . . . The Angel of History isn't just a brilliant novel, it's a heartfelt cry in the dark, a reminder that we can never forget our past, the friends and family we've loved and lost. It's a raw love letter from those who survived a plague to those who didn't." --NPR.org From National Book Award finalist Rabih Alameddine, The Angel of History follows Yemeni-born Jacob as he revisits his life over the course of one night in the waiting room of a psych clinic. We see his maternal upbringing in an Egyptian whorehouse to his adolescence under the aegis of his wealthy father and his life as a gay Arab man in San Francisco at the height of AIDS. All the while, Jacob is taunted mercilessly by the presence of alluring Satan, who urges remember his painful past and dour Death who urges him to forget and give up. Set in Cairo and Beirut; Sana'a, Stockholm, and San Francisco; this is a profound and winning story of the war between memory and oblivion and a spectacular portrait of a man and an era of deep political and social upheaval. "A remarkable novel, a commentary of love and death, creativity and spirituality, memory and survival . . . brilliant . . . it] hits an emotional nerve." --Los Angeles Review of Books "Laced with literary references . . . a kaleidoscopic storytelling style, and philosophical humor." --New YorkerBinding Type: Paperback

Great for dressy occasions!
My son adores this suit! He really likes the bow tie that was included with it. The suit fits him very nicely - he's 10 and I ordered a size 10. He has commented several times how much he likes the material of the suit; he says it is soft but also feels like athletic material which I'm assuming means it moves well and stretches with him. He recently wore this to do the Scripture reading at our church, and we've gotten so many compliments on it since then. This suit is great for any dressy occasion - church, wedding, concert, etc. Because my son loves it so much, we'll probably buy a couple more in different colors for him. It's a great value for a quality three-piece suit plus tie!

A great value for the price.
Color: Black, Size: 12
I am very impressed with this suit! I got this for my boys for a formal dinner event and it didn't disappoint. This set is a great value and much better than buying all separate pieces. The fit is nice and the quality good enough for what we needed it for. Not top of the line but it doesn't look cheap and the black and white colors are true and crisp. You will definitely need to get this steamed or pressed but overall it's been a wonderful addition to my boys' wardrobe.

Little gentleman level : EXPERT!
Color: Black, Size: 4
This tuxedo set transformed my little guy into the sharpest-dressed attendee at the wedding. The slim fit blazer and double-breasted design look incredibly polished without being stiff or uncomfortable. The vest adds a nice touch of formality, and the bow tie? Instant charm overload.
The pants fit true to size and have just enough stretch for toddler wiggles and running around (because you know he’s not just going to stand still). We got compliments all night—several people asked if it was custom-made!
If you want your kiddo to look dashing and feel comfy enough to enjoy the party, this set nails it. Plus, it’s perfect for weddings, holidays, or any time you want to make the family photo extra classy.
