One week after his father’s death, writer Marcelo Maluf received an unlikely inheritance from his uncle: A secret Marcelo’s grandfather kept about a tragedy in Lebanon in the early 20th century. According to his uncle Sami, Marcelo’s grandfather Assad had been sent to Brazil as a teenager by his father after witnessing the murder of his older brothers, who were hanged in their backyard by an Ottoman-Turkish army officer. For eight years, he mulled over that story, or what he calls his “accursed heritage,” wondering whether or not he should write about it. “If he kept it a secret, why would I reveal it?” he said to himself.
