The Beirutus and Other Stories

By Claire Clemons

Book Overview

The Beirutus and Other Stories chronicles, in fiction form, some major themes and highlights of life as it is lived in the turbulent Middle East. The author's take on life in Beirut is excellent as an expatriate's view of the diversity and danger in the Lebanon. Other stories are reflective of a full life that Clemons has lead as an automobile salesman, as an observer of small town life in Beaver Valley, of a jaundiced suburbanite of America and England, and of a dangerous tour of duty in Korea...her generations' first war. Clemons writes like Hemingway, who critics describe as her predecessor in character and development.
