“As exquisitely structured as The Return, driven by desire,
yearning, loss, illuminated by the kindness of strangers . . . A Month
in Siena is a triumph.―—Peter Carey “Exact and graceful . . . A
Month in Siena gives us [Hisham] Matar turning his intense gaze on
another landscape entirely. . . . It is arguing for the power of art to
answer a longing to be ‘recognized,†while bringing about the
rediscovery of ‘our own powers of remembrance,†a pastime that
demands the closest possible attention.―—The New York Times Book
Review “Matar is a master of pellucid statement that seems simple yet
is exactly right. . . . He is equally eloquent about the paintings he
loves. . . . This is an exquisite, deeply affecting book, one in which
an experience of dislocation and loss is conveyed in prose that flows so
clearly and gracefully it finds continuities and connections all the
time.―—Evening Standard “A sweet, short mediation on art, grief,
and life . . . A Month in Siena is a brilliant miniature, a fugue but
also a release. Its intellectual and emotional depth is never forced,
never exclusive. Concerning grief as much as art, it is a considered
attempt to explain both, while allowing that nothing can be contained

fully within a single book, painting, city, or life.―—The Arts Desk
“Through meditations on mortality, loss, government, cruelty, the
Black Death, the inclusive camaraderie of the Palio and Sienaâ€s
marketplace, Matar shares moments of refreshing solitude.―—BBC
“[A Month in Siena] tells us much about the extraordinary power of
art to inspire. . . . But this book is about so much more than the
medieval art of Siena.―—Literary Review “An exquisite reflectionÂ
on the intersection of life and art.―—RTÉ “A quiet meditation on
art and life . . . [a] thoughtful, sensitive extended essay about
[Matarâ€s] visit to Siena, where he ruminates and reflects on
paintings, faith, love, and his wife, Diana . . . a beautifully written,
pensive, and restorative memoir.―—Kirkus Reviews Hisham Matar is the
Pulitzer Prize–winning author of the memoir The Return, which also
received the PEN/Jean Stein Award and other international prizes, and
was selected as one of The New York Timesâ€s Ten Best Books of the
Year. His debut novel, In the Country of Men, was shortlisted for the
Man Booker Prize and won several awards, including the Royal Society of
Literature Ondaatje Prize and a Commonwealth First Book Award. His
second novel, Anatomy of a Disappearance, was selected as one of the
best books of the year by several publications, including the Chicago
Tribune and The Guardian. He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal
Society of Literature in 2013. Born in New York City to Libyan parents,
he spent his childhood in Tripoli and Cairo and now divides his time
between London and New York, where he teaches literature at Barnard
College, Columbia University.
