Ryoko Sekiguchi, 961 Hours in Beirut (and 321 Dishes to Go With Them) . “Books about Beirut only deal with the war. As if this city had no other theme to offer than tragedy. In that case, would talking about Beirut food in literature be a transgression?” During the 961 hours Ryoko Sekiguchi spent in Beirut, nearly a month and a half, she tasted 321 dishes. What was initially intended to be a cookbook also paints a portrait of a city whose rich culture is nourished by its inhabitants. Through the stories Beirut residents told her, the author “reheats”—like onions in a pan—a happy past she tries to preserve from oblivion.
