Yalo was a soldier on one of the many sides in Lebanon's sectarian
civil war, before becoming a deserter and a thief, a nightwatchman
in Paris, an arms smuggler, and then a rapist. And then he falls in
love with his victim - who turns him in to the police. This novel
is a modern Thousand and One Nights, a series of confessions
extracted under torture, a recitation of all of his memories, all
his sorrows, all his guilt - and of the other crimes his
interrogators have him confess to. Beirut and the legacy of the
wars of the Middle East are the texture of Elias Khoury's
extraordinary literary achievement.
