Between Beirut And The Moon is the exuberant and hilarious debut from
the hugely talented young Lebanese author, Naji Bakhti. A young boy
comes of age within the confines of post-civil-war Beirut, with
conflict, and comedy lurking round every corner. Adam dreams of
becoming an astronaut but who has ever heard of an Arab on the moon? He
battles with his father, a book-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.
Adam's youth oscillates from laugh out loud
escapades, to near death encounters, as he struggles to understand the
turbulent and elusive city he calls home.
