Description
City Gates is a thought-provoking novel that explores the themes of displacement and identity. First published in Arabic in 1981 and later translated into English, it offers a unique perspective on the consequences of civil war in the Middle East.
A stranger arrives at the gates of a city from which everyone appears to have fled, leaving behind a once besieged and now deserted metropolis. This fable of displacement is both a personal story and a visionary tale about the human cost of conflict.
