Description
Jabbour Douaihy's Autumn Equinox is a personal and introspective account of a young man's struggles to redefine himself after returning to his Lebanese village from college in the United States. Spanning from May 1986 to the September equinox, the diary chronicles his efforts to adjust his habits, relationships, and sense of identity. The narrative is set against the backdrop of turmoil in Lebanon, but the author skillfully avoids explicit references to the civil war and occupation. Instead, he explores the complexities of human nature, revealing how violence and revenge have been ingrained in the community's consciousness. Through a series of vignettes, Douaihy portrays the challenges of navigating cultural identity and finding one's place within a society that seems determined to maintain its own self-perception. A poignant and thought-provoking work, Autumn Equinox offers a unique perspective on the human experience, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
