961 Hours in Beirut (and the 321 Dishes That Accompanied Them)
14.99 €
In the spring of 2018, Ryoko Sekiguchi (b. 1970), a French-Japanese poet and essayist, came to Beirut to write a book about a city that had survived a devastating war, not yet suspecting that in the fall of 2019, Lebanon would be engulfed in a new wave of street protests.

Her “culinary chronicle” is a lyrical travelogue, consisting of many micro-chapters that in different ways echo the dishes and flavors of Beirut. Sekiguchi paints a gastronomic landscape of the city, recalling her encounters and discoveries made during this journey, and the stories of Lebanese people about war, nostalgia, and revolution.

The author speaks of cuisine and food as a means of building bridges between people. Together with the aromas of Lebanese dishes, the entire text is permeated with a premonition of the coming catastrophe that soon befell Beirut.
