1. Memory For Forgetfulness
August, Beirut, 1982
A lyrical, diaristic meditation written amid war and exile that blends personal memory, political reflection and intimate observation as the narrator moves through the siege of a city; it explores the tensions between remembering and forgetting, the ache of dispossession and longing for home, the persistence of language and love under bombardment, and small acts of human resilience that resist erasure.
