Description
Set against the turbulent backdrop of post-civil-war Beirut, this novel follows the coming-of-age story of a young boy as he navigates the complexities of his city and its people.
The protagonist's life is marked by laughter and danger in equal measure, as he struggles to understand the world around him. With a cast of eccentric characters, including his father, a book-hoarding journalist, and his friend Basil, who practices an unconventional form of spirituality, the boy must confront the challenges of growing up in a city still reeling from years of conflict.
This poignant and humorous novel offers a unique perspective on life in Beirut, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are constantly blurred. With its vivid portrayal of a complex and often contradictory world, it is a compelling read for anyone interested in stories about identity, community, and the human condition.
