Kite By Dominique Edde Seagull Books, Pounds 16
2013
Overview
The Lebanese writer Dominique Edd presents such an example with her novel Kite - originally written in French, still a lingua franca of the Levant, and impeccably translated by Ros Schwartz. Boldly multi-layered, Kite has as its primary strand the passionate affair between Mali, an aspiring Lebanese writer, and Farid, an eminent Egyptian philologist. Their liaison starts in the 1960s. She is 28 and married; he is 40, also married. The story, interspersed with sections of a memoir by Mali herself, has as its milieu the Levantine haut monde - metaphorically, the kite \"that has the right to go in any direction that crosses borders, blurs them, pushes them back\".
