An American college student has a mental health crisis against the backdrop of political unrest and turmoil in Lebanon in 2005. There is much drug abuse, many regretful sexual hook-ups, and a truckload of navel gazing. And, oh yeah, people are dying in the background, which is like, y'know, a real buzzkill. Ugly American tourism and memoir writing at its most self-involved. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In 2005 Andy Warner travelled to Lebanon to study literature in Beirut, one of the world's most cosmopolitan and storied cities. Twenty-one years old and recently broken up from his girlfriend, Warner feels his life is both intense and directionless. Immersing himself in the vibrant and diverse city, he quickly befriends a group of LGBT students, many of whom are ex-pats straddling different cultures and embracing the freedoms of the multicultural city. Warner and his friends party, do drugs, and hook up, even as violence breaks out in the city--the scars of a fifteen-year civil war reopening with a series of political assassinations and bombings. As the city descends into chaos and violence, Warner feels his grasp on reality slowly begin to slip as he confronts traumas in his past and anxiety over his future.
