At its core, it provides a powerful argument for why we need to be reading these rich if often dark novels." -- Mara Naaman, Postcolonial Text "An interdisciplinary study that offers a fresh analysis of the works of several individually celebrated authors, Postwar Anglophone Lebanese Fiction reveals new pathways of interpretation, and for scholarship more broadly." -- Omar Zahzah, H-Levant
