Inhaltsangabe

On a ravaged street overlooking a cemetery in Beirut s Christian enclave, we meet an eccentric young man named Pavlov, the son of a local undertaker. When his father meets a sudden and untimely death, Pavlov is approached by a colorful member of the mysterious Hellfire Society an anti-religious sect that, among many rebellious and often salacious activities, arranges secret burial for outcasts who have been denied last rites because of their religion or sexuality.Pavlov agrees to take on his father s work for the society, and over the course of the novel he becomes a survivor-chronicler of his embattled and fading community at the heart of Lebanon s civil war. His new role introduces him to an unconventional cast of characters, including a father searching for his son s body, a mysterious woman who takes up residence on Pavlov s stairs after a bombing, and the flamboyant head of the Hellfire Society, El-Marquis.Beirut Hellfire Society
