About this product
Product Information
Written in the opening phases of the Lebanese Civil War (1975--1990), Little Mountain is told from the perspectives of three characters: a Joint Forces fighter; a distressed civil servant; and an amorphous figure, part fighter, part intellectual. Elias Khoury's language is poetic and piercing as he tells the story of Beirut, civil war, and fractured identity.

"Khoury's picaresque ramblings through the Lebanese landscapes offered by civil combat reveal areas of uncertainty and perturbation unthought of before."--Edward W. Said, from the introduction, "Khoury's picaresque ramblings through the Lebanese landscapes offered by civil combat reveal areas of uncertainty and perturbation unthought of before."--Edward W. Said, from the Foreword "Without a doubt the finest novel on Lebanon's [civil] war."-- Le Nouvel Observateur " Little Mountain is above all a poem. . . . Elias Khoury, like all true poets, is also a seer . Nothing tepid about these cruel pages. A lucidity equal to Rimbaud's."-- Le Monde "Under the corrosive, passionate pen of Elias Khoury, the city at war, [Beirut,] re-created. A group of young men-at-arms--the Fedayin--kill and die between the sea and the mountain, between the asphalt and the sky, love spiked with murder and the blood of death mixed indiscriminately with the blood of life."-- Le Monde diplomatique "A magnificent, allusive writing that captures the daily insanity of human beings.
