Description:

From the author ofGate of the Sunand "one of the most innovative novelists in the Arab World" (The Washington Post Book World) comes the many-layered story of Little Gandhi or Abd Al-Karim, a shoe shine in a city fractured by war. Shot down in the street, Gandhi's story is recounted by an aging and garrulous prostitute named Alice. Ingeniously embedding stories within stories,Little Gandhibecomes the story of a city, Beirut, in the grip of civil war. Once again, as John Leonard wrote inHarper's Magazine, Elias Khoury "fills in the blank spaces on the Middle Eastern map in our Western heads."
