“ A phoenix, Beirut seems to always pull itself out its ashes, reinvents itself, has been conquered numerous times in its 7,000-year history, yet it survives by both becoming whatever its conquerors wished it to be and retaining its idiosyncratic persona.” 😔🇱🇧Rabih Alameddine
Today's #JoyceCarolOatesPrize Longlist feature: Rabih Alameddine. The New York Times calls #TheWrongEndoftheTelescope 'irreverent prose that evokes the old master storytellers from my own Middle Eastern home, their observations toothy and full of wit, returning always to human absurdity.'
