Hassan Daoud, Abbas Baydoun and Jabbour Douaihy: hope and reassurance, in the face of an overwhelming tendency of young authors who are drowning us in degrading sexual pornography, as the only way to fame and popularity.

Jabbour Douaihy’s recent novel, from the perspective of an old leftist, represents an important opportunity to rediscover ourselves

‏In ‪’‬Chased away‪’,‬ Jabbour Douaihy writes the life and death of a city‪…‬Then, as today, calls‪ and‬ claims for rights resound, and crime remains a constant‪…‬

‏ Jabbour Douaihy‪’‬s transparent writing style‪,‬ namely in the description of nature‪,‬ reminds me with the greatness of Japanese novels

In his novel “Chased away”, Jabbour Douaihy stirs the pains of those who witnessed the war and remember most of its beginning. But the novel’s significance remains that who does not fully belong to a Lebanese community is doomed to be rootless and rejected throughout his life, however short or long.

A novel like a shot from a pistol. Read this novel’s first page, and the passion will lead you to inevitably read on, full speed, your eyes driven on the lines in pursuit of the events.
