Rawi Hage
Rawi Hage's Beirut is the Christian East of the 1980s civil war: the tight streets of Achrafieh, the militia checkpoints and rooftop gunners, the port and the coast road north to the casino, all pressed against the Green Line that split the city from downtown south to the National Museum. The map runs from that dividing line across East Beirut to the harbour, then follows Bassam's flight out of the country.
