A book about multiculturalism in the heart of the emblematic city of Beirut.

Charif Majdalani is passionate about cultural blends, in all their richness, humor, and complexity. His reflections focus on Beirut, his city, his home, so emblematic of these intersecting populations. He meets some twenty people who tell him their stories of exile, war, multiple religious identities, and thwarted love. The author paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of Beirut and of Lebanon, just like the infinite crossroads that come together all over the world.
