In the late 1970s, Ziad Idilbi a Palestinian refugee from Lebanon, marries Salma, a Lebanese refugee escaping the war in Beirut. Resolving to start over for the very last time, the couple opens a corner store in Toledo, Ohio. Over the decades, whether it's bigotry (pre- and post-9/11), financial ruin, or terminal illness, the Idilbis find themselves on life's outskirts, always seemingly one day away from catastrophe. The linked stories in Carryout follow Walid Idilbi, the youngest child of Ziad and Salma, as he navigates the heartbreaks of youth, the many colorful characters from Toledo's Arab community, and growing up into a writer. Unsure at times whether to run toward each other or away from each other, the characters in Dudar's exquisite debut suffer the absurdities and indignities of life in America with wry obstinance and striking wisdom.
