Omschrijving
hoarding journalist with a penchant for writing eulogies, his closest friend, Basil, a Druze who is said to worship goats and believe in reincarnation, and a host of other misfits and miscreants in a city attempting recover from years of political and military violence.
Not just another coming-of-age novel, Naji Bakhti's debut is an ambitious and mischievous rewriting of the recent history of a whole region. Between Beirut and the Moon stays with the reader as lyrical, clear-sighted, very funny and endlessly endearing. Toby Litt, author of Patience
Born and raised in Beirut, Naji Bakhti graduated from the American University of Beirut (Lebanon, 2011). He recently obtained a PhD in Creative Writing from Lancaster University. Between Beirut and the Moon is his first novel.
