description: Written in the opening phases of the Lebanese Civil War (1975--1990), Little Mountain is told from the perspectives of three 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.
