Description
Little Mountain is set against the backdrop of the Lebanese Civil War. Elias Khoury's novel tells the story from multiple perspectives, weaving together the experiences of three individuals: a fighter, a civil servant, and an enigmatic figure. Through poetic and piercing prose, Khoury explores the complexities of identity and the fractured city of Beirut. The narrative is deeply rooted in the opening phases of the conflict, which lasted from 1975 to 1990. This tumultuous period is reflected in the characters' struggles with their own identities and the war's devastating impact on the city. Khoury's writing style brings a sense of urgency and intensity to the story, capturing the essence of a nation torn apart by conflict and social upheaval.
