THE HAKAWATI - or, The Storyteller - is a sweeping, wildly imaginative feast of a novel, bursting with the myths of the Middle East. At its emotional core is the reunion of a long-standing Beiruti family, whose patriarch is dying and visited on his deathbed by his children and by memories of his ancestors. Rabih Alameddine tells their stories - of crusades and battles, chicanery, betrayal and sex, family rivalry, family disunity and family life - and spins them together with the historical stories of the region, but with a twist.
