<div><P>Written in the opening phases of the Lebanese Civil War (1975--1990), <I>Little Mountain </I>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.</P></div>

Little Mountain

<div><P><I>City Gates</I> was first published in Arabic in 1981, and in English in 1993. It is a further exploration of the themes of exile, dislocation, and identity. Elias Khoury's early works show him finding the distinctive voice that explodes in his epic <I>Gate of the Sun</I>.<br><br>A stranger arrives at the gates of a city from which everyone appears to have fled. The once besieged and now deserted city is Beirut. <I>City Gates</I> is a fable of displacement and a visionary tale about the consequences of civil war in the Middle East.</P></div>
