about the bookabout
A lyrical essay interweaving a personal, political, and mythological history of Beirut, as much a place of beguiling legend as it is of political disaster. Janus City is a tribute to a beloved, complicated city, and an attempt to understand what it means to make home in a place balanced eternally on the rim of disaster. Featuring original artwork by Jana Traboulsi.
