City Gates was first published in Arabic in 1981, and in English in 1993.
It is a further exploration of the themes of exile, dislocation, and identity. Elias Khoury's early works show him finding the distinctive voice that explodes in his epic Gate of the Sun.
A stranger arrives at the gates of a city from which everyone appears to have fled. The once besieged and now deserted city is Beirut.
City Gates is a fable of displacement and a visionary tale about the consequences of civil war in the Middle East.
