Description
Dominique Eddé's Kite is a rich and multilayered work that defies easy categorization. Spanning several decades from the 1960s to the late '80s, it is both a memoir and fiction, exploring the complexities of a passionate relationship and the decline of Egyptian-Lebanese society. The narrative is densely populated with characters, weaving together multiple strands to examine the nature of language, the concept of the novel, and the experience of being blind. Set against the backdrop of Beirut's intellectual scene in the '60s, Cairo's urban settings, Parisian cafes, and London's streets, Kite probes memory with a curious mix of irony and melancholy. Ultimately, this fragmented narrative calls into question an entire way of living and thinking, evoking a sense of hopelessness and despair.
