Walking in the Dust. May Menassa's work celebrates a memory that is scarred by the tragedies of war and loss in today's world. The novel is written in a distinctively flowing prose style, with a hint of poetry well suited to the universal pain with which it deals. May Menassa was born in Beirut in 1939 and holds a postgraduate diploma in French Literature. She has published four novels, as well as a children's book and many translations, mainly from French. [alking in the Dust] which tells the powerful story of dealing with tragedy and loss in war from a very young age, was short-listed this year for the inaugural Arabic Booker prize. An excerpt of the novel has been published in Banipal 32. May Menassa began her journalistic career in television in 1959, and has worked as a critic for the Lebanese daily newspaper An Nahar since 1969.
