Abstract:
In an “Interview” with Michael Bacos on March 24, 2002, the Lebanese novelist Elias Khoury was asked an interesting question: since Lebanese writers no longer have the benefit of a major event, the civil war, to inspire them, what are the issues they are writing about in Post-war Lebanon? Khoury’s answer to this was that Lebanese writers are writing novels and are trying, through them, to express their lives1, a rather general answer to a question that, in my opinion, needs more in-depth study
