Synopsis

Readers of Joseph Crew's first novel, Abraham's Burden, and his coming-of-age memoir, Fall In, Fall Out: The Dogface Years, will appreciate this complex and deeply intriguing story. On the brink of divorce, and in the middle of a torrid affair with a brilliant German graduate student, American history professor, Adam Cantwell, a faty member of Immanuel Kant International University in Heidelberg, accepts an offer from his close friend, a Turkish restaurant owner, to drive a car to Antalya, Turkey during summer vacation in 1994. When Adam races down the autobahn he never imagines the BMW is loaded with explosives or that he will be abducted by Kurdish separatists when he reaches his destination. And he certainly didn't expect to fall in love with the beautiful Kurdish woman he encounters in Austria, who might be involved with his captors. At once a thriller, a travelogue, history tutorial, and love story, BEGOTTEN takes the reader through Yugoslavia while it is engaged in a genocidal civil war and on across Anatolia where a growing Islamic revival is facing a standoff with Mustafa Kemal's sear republic. Timely in its subject matter, the novel underscores the global geo-political impacts of immigration concerns currently plaguing Europe and the United States.
