Elias Khoury (b. 1948) is one of the most outstanding figures in Lebanon's cultural, intellectual and literary life today. The study focuses on the theme of memory in Khoury's novels. In the light of the Lebanese civil war of 1975-1990 memory has turned into a disputed and often neglected find in Lebanon. As the study shows, not only do Khoury's novels hold on to the memory of the civil war and transmit it at a time when memory itself is threatened, memory in its turn effects the novels' narrative structure. The study takes inspriration from narratology, especially Gérard Genette, and from Walter Benjamin's writings on memory and history.
