Description
by Rawi Hage (Author)
A personal reflection on fragmentation, language, and place.
Following one of the Turfan archaeological expeditions in the early 1900s, a fragment of a Manichaean text written in Uighur and Old Turkic found its way to the Asian Art Museum in Berlin. Originating from the Northern Silk Road region (now the Xinjiang Uighur Region in China), these "loose leaves" became a source of inspiration for Rawi Hage. Hage writes, "I was born near Byblos in Lebanon. The ancient city of Byblos is believed to be the place where the first alphabet was invented." Encountering this rare and precious manuscript, with its layered and multicolored words, Hage reflects on the movement, uprooting, displacement, and migration of both objects and people.Author Biography
Rawi Hage was born in Beirut and survived the Lebanese civil war of the 1970s and 1980s. He emigrated to New York and later moved to Montreal, where, as a photographer and writer, he explores themes of rootlessness, exile, and the consequences of war. His novels have received internationally acclaimed literary awards and have been translated into thirty languages.
