Talking Location With Joanna O’Donoghue – WORLD
Little Mountain

Location(s): Lebanon
Genre(s): Fiction
Era(s): 1975 - 1980
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.
