For every bibliophile that gets the ick watching 13-year-olds excitedly buying \u201cIt Ends With Us\u201d (or any other poorly written book of hers for that matter), we thought we\u2019d shed light on some amazing Lebanese authors (and their best works) who truly deserve the hype.<br \/>  <br \/>  And if you don\u2019t read Arabic, worry not because most of their works are originally written in English.<br \/>  <br \/>  <b><I>Note:<\/b> Although these authors come from a generation that is focused on the Lebanese Civil War, each novel is more unique than the last as they tackle similar issues of identity, exile, and war in their own way.<\/I><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>1. Nada Awar Jarrar<\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/65039-8.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Nada Awar Jarrar\u2019s \u201cSomewhere, Home\u201d won the Commonwealth Best First Book Prize and you\u2019ll understand why with a mere skim of the first few pages. Set in an old traditional house in the heart of Mount Lebanon, the book encapsulates the power of Lebanese history and the stories that exist in the walls of every traditional home.<br \/>  <br \/>  With a mesmerizing writing style and attention to detail, this author focuses on the five senses and their connection to the experiences that come with being Lebanese.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>2. Rawi Hage<\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/65039-9.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Rawi Hage went from a taxi driver to an award-winning international novelist simply through the inspiration he garnered from his past profession, referring to a taxi as a \u201cchamber for intimacies, lies, tension\u201d.<br \/>  <br \/>  His debut novel \u201cDe Niro\u2019s Game\u201d was inspired by the movie The Deer Hunter starring Robert De Niro (hence the title). The novel is set against the backdrop of the Lebanese Civil War, telling the story of how it shaped the lives of young lifelong friends living in war-torn Beirut.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>3. Nathalie Abi-Ezzi<\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/65039-10.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Another author whose heart is based in Beirut, although they reside elsewhere. Nathalie Abi-Ezzi also drew inspiration from the Lebanese experience, especially in her debut novel \u201cA Girl Made Of Dust\u201d. <br \/>  <br \/>  The coming-of-age story will be a marvelous addition to your bookshelf, considering the little representation of women\u2019s perspectives and sufferings during war. This may be a refreshing twist, as the story is told from the eyes of a young girl living in Beirut.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>4. Rabih Alameddine<\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/65039-11.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  If you haven\u2019t heard this name already, it\u2019s about time you did. Rabih Alameddine became the talk of the town with his daring writing in \u201cKoolaids: The Art of War\u201d. A bold and heartbreaking novel on both the AIDs epidemic in the US and the Lebanese Civil War, linking these different tragedies in a (slightly confusing) non-linear narrative.<br \/>  <br \/>  With many characters, the novel is quite rounded in its depiction of death, sex, and war as a virus. Fun fact: this is book was never translated to Arabic because of its bold narratives.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>5. Patricia Sarrafian Ward<\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/65039-12.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Patricia Sarrafian Ward writes about topics of exile, war, and identity and one of her more haunting writings is her debut novel titled \u201cThe Bullet Collection\u201d. <br \/>  <br \/>  She has published many stories, poems, and essays prior to her debut novel, which give insight into her experience as a struggling Lebanese-American (much like Rabih Alameddine, although he may not approve of using the term \u201cLebanese-American\u201d\u2014sorry, Rabih).<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>6. Karim Dimachkie<\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/65039-13.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Finally, we have Karim Dimachkie. His endearing novel \u201cLifted by the Great Nothing\u201d is a must-read, applauded for its beautifully developed characters and coming-of-age storyline. <br \/>  <br \/>  Telling the tale of Lebanese immigrants juggling their identities as they adapt to American culture, it tells the truths and untruths of being Lebanese.<br \/>  <br \/> <br \/> 1    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
