Koolaids

A dazzling literary debut, Koolaids shatters the dimension of time and mimes the chaos of contemporary existence as it details the impact of the AIDS epidemic and the Lebanese civil war on a circle of family and friends. In clips, quips, memories and hallucinations, tragic news reports and hilarious short plays, diary entries and conversations, it tells the stories of a group of individuals who can no longer love or think except in fragments of time. Their dances with death - in war-torn Beirut, with the scourge of AIDS - form a raging affirmation of life.
'A moving and angry book.'
Independent

'Hyperactive and apocalyptic - a lesson in how to mix a war zone (Beirut), sex (AIDS) and destruction (the Grim Reaper) and come up laughing.'
