Kool AIDS: Umijeće ratovanja

Rabih Alameddine

Eksperimentalni, fragmentarni i autobiografski obojeni debitantski roman libansko-američkog pisca i slikara. Nekonvencionalan, emotivno brutalan i intelektualno oštar, „Koolaids“ daje snažan portret gubitka i traženja smisla usred katastrofe.

Djelo paralelno prati dvije velike katastrofe 1980-ih i 1990-ih: epidemiju AIDS-a u San Franciscu (koja je desetkovala gej zajednicu) i libanski građanski rat u Bejrutu. Autor ih prikazuje kao dvije jednako besmislene i razorne „ratove“ – jedan biološki, drugi politički i vojni.

Glavni likovi su krug prijatelja i rođaka (uglavnom gej muškaraca libanskog porijekla) koji se kreću između Bejruta i San Francisca. Priču dominantno vodi Mohammad, slikar i pisac, čiji je glas blizak autorovu. Roman nema linearan zaplet – sastoji se od dnevničkih zapisa, razgovora, snova, citata, viceva, umjetničkih referenci, kritika medija i društva, te fragmenata iz života likova koji umiru od AIDS-a ili ginu u ratu.

Alameddine suprotstavlja hladnoću i cinizam zapadnjačkog odgovora na AIDS („gay plague“) s užasima libanskog rata, ismijavajući pritom oba društva. Knjiga je puna crnog humora, ironije i provokacija – naslov spaja popularno piće Kool-Aid (simbol masovnog samoubojstva u Jonestownu) sa Sun Cuovim „Umijećem ratovanja“.
