Beyrouth-Sur-Seine - Sabyl Ghoussoub
2 in stock - Almost gone!
"My parents' lives are like the war in Lebanon. The deeper I get into it, the less I understand. I can situate the protagonists, a few key moments stick in my mind, and then I get lost. Too many dates, events, gaps, silences, contradictions."
Sabyl is in his thirties. He was born in Paris of Lebanese parents, kept away from their country by the war. Yet in Paris, Beirut is everywhere. The extended family is still there. Only a few return trips and WhatsApp connect them. A part is missing. Sabyl wants to fill it. Microphone in hand, he asks them to tell their stories.
« La vie de mes parents, c'est comme la guerre du Liban. Plus je m'y plonge, moins j'y comprends quelque chose. J'arrive à situer les protagonistes, quelques moments marquants me restent, puis, ensuite, je me perds. Trop de dates, d'événements, de trous, de silences, de contradictions. »
Sabyl a la trentaine. Il est né à Paris de parents libanais, tenus éloignés de leur pays par la guerre. Pourtant, à Paris, Beyrouth est partout. La famille élargie est restée là-bas. Seuls quelques allers-retours et WhatsApp les relient. Une part manque. Sabyl veut la combler. Micro en main, il leur demande de raconter.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
