«The Cave of the Sun» by Elias Khoury is a moving novel that tells the story of Abu Sálim, who lies in a coma in a hospital in the Palestinian refugee camp of Chatila. His spiritual son, Jalil, takes care of him and, in an attempt to conjure death and madness, adopts the voices of the Palestinian people to tell Abu Sálim his story. Through stories wrapped in a magical halo, the novel guides the reader through the tragic odyssey of men and women forced to emigrate and do the unspeakable to survive. An epic that focuses on the mysterious existence of Abu Sálim and his encounters with Nahila in the Cave of the Sun.
