There are no knives in the kitchens of this city, by Khaled Khalifa

The novel dives deep into the mechanisms of fear and disintegration over half a century, as it is a story about a society that lived in parallel with repression and murdered desires, through the biography of a family that discovered all its dreams had died and turned into rubble, just as the mother's body turned into scrap that must be disposed of so others can continue living.
