520    "In 1990, three boys are born, unrelated but intertwined 
       by circumstance: Dayo, Iseul, and Youssef. They are 
       adopted as infants and live in a shared bedroom perched 
       atop a mosque in one of Staten Island's most diverse and 
       precarious neighborhoods, Coolidge. The three boys are an 
       inseparable if conspicuous trio: Dayo is of Nigerian 
       origin, Iseul is Korean, and Youssef indeterminately 
       Middle Eastern. Nevertheless, Youssef is keeping a secret:
       he sees a hallucinatory double, an imaginary friend who 
       seems absolutely real, a shapeshifting familiar he calls 
       Brother. The boys' adoptive father, Imam Salim, is known 
       for his radical sermons, but at home he is often absent, 
       spending long evenings in his study with whiskey-laced 
       coffee, writing letters to his former compatriots back in 
       Saudi Arabia. Like Youssef, he too has secrets, including 
       the cause of his failing health and the truth about what 
       happened to the boys' parents. When Imam Salim's path 
       takes him back to Saudi Arabia, the boys will be forced to
       follow. There they will be captivated by an opulent, 
       almost futuristic world, a linear city that seems to offer
       a more sustainable modernity than that of the West. But 
       they will have to change if they want to survive in this 
       new world, and the arrival of a creature as powerful as 
       Brother will not go unnoticed. Stylistically brilliant and
       intellectually acute, Brother Alive is a remarkable novel 
       of family, capitalism, power, sexuality, and the 
       possibility of reunion for those who are broken"--
