Beirut Culture Schock: A Canadian Tale is a story crafted with meticulous attention to detail, told in a narrative that is in turn amusing, dramatic, and consistently emotive. Canadian writer Kamal Dib goes to Lebanon on an episodic voyage of discovery of the country of his birth, which he left as a teenager. The outcome is an eyewitness account and a fascinating exploration of culture, society, music, the media and arts, as well as a commentary on poverty and wealth. He laboriously shares his tales about Canada and Lebanon, and in this effort, he achieves a literary account readily identifiable to millions of Canadians and Americans. Dib begins the journey in an idyllic, beautiful, pre-war Lebanon of the 1970s before arriving in 1980s Pop-Rock North America. Then he moves forward to 2013, when he returns to Lebanon, and delves deeper into questions of identity and belonging, sex, and love, and war and peace. A wealth of current information, analysis, and insight rounds out the story, all in Dib’s very interesting, readable, and unpretentious Canadian style, eh!
