Following the
publication of his critically acclaimed first novel, Koolaids,
Rabih Alameddine offers a collection of stories that explore the
world of Lebanese survivors whom the crises of modernity have made
homeless, whether they stayed in Lebanon or joined the diaspora
abroad.
These stories explore the relationships within
the traditional Lebanese family when that tradition is shattered
by a decade of civil war and then investigates those families we
go on to create for ourselves. Daring in style as well as content,
these tales focus of what anchors our hearts to the world and to
each other.
Suffused by a yearning for what has been lost,
these narratives are both experimental and traditional, humorous
and disturbing, and confirm without doubt that Alameddine is one
of the most original and accomplished young writers to emerge in
some time.
