Product Description
Review
'Bewildering, enchanting, at times exasperating, Transit Beirut conveys a din of contending vignettes and sensations. Yet the effect on the reader is far from transitory, and the lessons all too salutary.' The Independent * 'It is very Lebanese - simultaneously profound and sentimental ... the glimpses of personal histories are moving - the banality of the atrocities, the acceptance of a way of life, but above all, the creative resilience of the people of Beirut.' TLS 'Informative and daring ... a welcome manifestation of people meeting ideas and ideas meeting each other.' The Daily Star 'Perhaps this city is not so very dissimilar from the one you know, except that it's set a little closer to the bombs, a little closer to Israel ...' Pulp.net 'Transit Beirut is testimony to the adaptability and vitality of the Lebanese.' Saudi Gazette '... entertaining and challenging ...Reminders of conflict run like leitmotifs throughout Transit Beirut's 21 essays, poems and short stories.' The Middle East '[An] extremely attractive, well-designed book ... a virtual kaleidoscope of mental and landscape-bound images ... thoughtful and powerful.' Jordan Times 'a quirky yet insightful voyage into the hearts and minds of Beirut's inhabitants ... funny, dark, heartbreaking and optimistic by turns' Red Pepper 'Tells the story of that town much more credibly than anything you'll gain from media reports.' Loop Magazin
