World Book Cafe: Beirut
Beirut's longstanding tradition of storytelling and literary culture
Storytelling is a revered and longstanding tradition in Lebanese culture which is kept alive in the bustling cafes and bookshops of Beirut. Rami Ruhayem meets with a panel of poets and writers to talk about their stories; from the plight of Syrian refugees, to being an Arab who writes in English, to the rise of LGBTQ storytelling nights. Find out what it鈥檚 like to be a writer in this schizophrenic mix of tradition and liberalism.
