Long description:
"After the Lebanese Civil War, many Lebanese novelists committed themselves to building a ""memory for the future."" What resulted was a vital contribution to the legacy of contemporary Arabic literature. Through interviews, literary analysis, and the lens of trauma studies, Lang sheds light on what it means to remember through post-war literature."
