Publisher's Note This book is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. Darwish implicitly connects writing, homeland, meaning, and resistance in an ironic, condensed work that combines with rage. His masterly text testifies to the heroism of the people under siege, and to Palestinian creativity and continuity.
Industry Reviews "In this memoir-prose poem-whatever Darwish asks many tortured questions, the truest work of memory, and thereby rescues Beirut, 1982, from forgetfulness." Dickson
"The most widely read Palestinian poet of the 20th century relives one day of the Israeli siege of Beirut, while also ruminating on solitude, soccer, coffee and the Palestinian struggle." Dickson
