Anyone seeking an escapist literary alternative to the current events in Lebanon is unlikely to want to track down Elias Khoury's novel "Yalo." With all its evocations of war, sexual passion and disturbing human behavior, the latest English translation of the Lebanese writer's work delves into brutal memories of a disturbing upbringing.
