Praise for author Elias Khoury
"Elias Khoury is an artist giving voice to rooted exiles and trapped refugees, to dissolving boundaries and changing identities, to radical demands and new languages."--Edward W. Said, author of Orientalism
"Khoury is one of the most innovative novelists in the Arab world."--The Washington Post Book World
"Khoury is, before everything else, a writer of stories. He loves them because there's no end to them. And because their meanings, very much like the reasons they're worth telling, get richer and more contradictory."--London Review of Books
"Because the world is the way it is, because whole groups of people can be maligned, neglected, ignored for too many years, we need the voice of Elias Khoury--detailed, exquisite, humane--more than ever. Read him. Without fail, read him."--Naomi Shihab Nye
