Beirut, the trilogy

Rima, in her book which mingles science fiction and documentary style, invites us to follow her in the maze of her memory and her city, a city consumed by property developers and overrun by waste, a city where taxi drivers rub shoulders with "ninja turtles" and "crocodiles". A city where concrete, corruption and censorship prevail. Tales of protest movements of the sixties to modern day disenchantment. Rima offers to take us back to Lebanon's recent history and makes the reader ponder: what has happened to our dreams, our hopes and our revolts?
