Living in Lebanon: The Weight We Carry
What does it actually do to a human being to live an entire life inside a country that never stops bleeding?Living in Lebanon: The Weight We Carry goes beneath the cliché of the "resilient" Lebanese to explore the psychological reality of being born into a war, raised between wars, and told that surviving is the same thing as living. Conceived and designed originally as a twelve-part audio series, this manuscript maintains the intimate, oral architecture of the spoken word.
It is not a memoir, but rather a reckoning delivered in a genuine, human voice by someone who lived it. Across twelve episodes, the book explores the deep psychological impacts of the Lebanese Civil War, the Beirut Port explosion, economic collapse, and the militarized street. From the "rich ghosts" of the diaspora to the individuals who stayed and lost the means to leave, this volume dissects the complex trauma, foreclosed futures, and emotional numbing forced upon a population trapped in a proxy conflict.
If you've ever been called resilient when what you really needed was rescue, this book is for you. And if you haven't, it is a stark reminder that Lebanon is not a warning from far away-it is a preview.
