CHICAGO: Lebanese novelist Najwa Barakat’s “Mister N” depicts a modern city and its residents fighting to survive amid continuous political strife, identity politics and a divisive history. Unafraid to delve deep into profound emotions and fragmented relationships, Barakat takes readers on an unhinged journey of a man named Mr. N. Translated into English by Luke Leafgren in 2022, Barakat’s novel is vivid and fluid as reality and fantasy blend together in Beirut.
