«Le Quatrième Mur» is the historical novel by Sorj Chalandon, in paperback from the Le Livre de Poche collection (336 pages, in French).
A man travels to Beirut in 1982 to fulfill the promise made to Samuel, a Greek and Jewish friend: to stage Jean Anouilh's Antigone with actors from both sides of the Lebanese civil war. The performance, conceived as a poetic truce, collides with the reality of a city in ruins. Theater, war and memory intertwine in the novel.
Awarded the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens 2013 and the Prix des libraires du Québec 2014; this edition was published on August 20, 2014.
For readers of historical and literary fiction interested in Lebanon and in theater as a space for encounter between enemies.
Sorj Chalandon is a French writer and journalist.
