Elias Khoury.

Elias Khoury was a Lebanese novelist and advocate of the Palestinian cause. He died in Beyrouth in September.

The photograph of Elias Khoury was taken in his office at the newspaper Al-Nahar in Beyrouth, for which he was editor-in-chief of its cultural supplement Al-Mulhaq (july 2002). He was one of the first lebanese writer I met.

Khoury's novels are remarkable for their complex approach to both political themes and more fundamental questions about human behaviour. They often involve an inner monologue.

His novels and literary criticism have been translated into several languages.

Short bibliography (in French) : La Petite Montagne (1977), La Porte du soleil (Actes sud, 2002), 2004 Yalo (Actes Sud, 2004), Sinalcol (Actes Sud, 2013), L'Étoile de la mer (Actes Sud Sindbad, 2023).

The French daily newspaper Le Monde published an article about him a few days after his death.

All the portraits of Elias Khoury are available at the Opale Agency.

"Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy", by David Hury.

The new historical fiction Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy of French writer, journalist and photographer David Hury is now published by Riveneuve Editions (Paris, 2024).

After Davids former novel Mustapha s'en va-t-en guerre, this is definitly a book to read for those interested in the former French colonial era.

You can read more about the book on the website of the author.

Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy is a great family saga, with its secrets, its greatness and its smallness. A extensive historical fresco retracing a decade of war and German occupation, of collaboration, raids and resistance, right up to the discovery of the death camps and the first disillusioned years of the post-war period.

Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy is the result of 3 years rigorous research into the archives of the army, the police, newspapers and the Shoah Memorial, as well as with the last remaining witnesses, reviewed by Shoah historian Renée Poznanski.
