More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Lebanese Civil War, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of three distinct characters: a Joint Forces fighter, a troubled civil servant, and a complex figure embodying both a fighter and an intellectual. Elias Khoury's poetic and incisive prose captures the turmoil of Beirut, exploring themes of conflict and fragmented identity, offering a profound commentary on the impact of war on personal and collective lives.
