Gate of the Sun

by Elias Khoury

Woven into a tapestry of narratives, 'Gate of the Sun' presents an immersive saga capturing the poignant chronicles of Palestinian refugees. In a dilapidated hospital, Khalil cares for Yunes, an ancient warrior now in a coma, as he recollects the harrowing stories of their people's exile in Lebanon, fueled by hope and heartache. Elias Khoury meticulously integrates true-life tales amassed from Lebanese refugee camps, rendering a monumental odyssey. Through Khalil's voice, we traverse a realm of displacement and survival, love and ruin, and the visceral need for storytelling in the face of oblivion.
