Just Like a River by Muhammad Kamil al-Katib (Tr: Michelle Hartman &
Maher Barakat) as per the back cover of the book is thought of as the
most influential novel of its time in Syria. Set in Syria of 1980s, it's
a realistic account of the society struggling with unemployment, a
young generation dealing with western ideas, and a looming war (with
Israel). Short and impactful.
