Carnival  Cover Image Book Book

Carnival / Rawi Hage.

Hage, Rawi. (Author).

Summary:

By turns outrageous, hilarious, sorrowful, and stirring, CARNIVAL is a tour de force that will make all of life's passengers squirm in their comfortable, complacent backseats. There are two types of taxi drivers in the Carnival city - the spiders and the flies. The spiders sit and stew in their cars, waiting for the calls to come to them. Fly is a wanderer. From the seat of his taxi we see the world in all of its carnivalesque beauty and ugliness.
