The Hakawati by Rabih Alameddine

The Hakawati by Rabih Alameddine is a modern retelling of One Thousand and One Nights, blending Lebanese family saga with mythic storytelling. It adapts the structure and spirit of the Arabic oral tradition, where tales nest within tales and truth shifts with each voice. The novel draws from both classical epics and contemporary life, transforming inherited myths into reflections on war, exile, and memory.
