With two parallel storylines set in Ottoman Beirut and modern day Los Angeles, Ashta is protagonist Garbi Kahn’s personal reflection of an indulgent past and his coming to terms with a near-death encounter with food. As young Garbi recovers following a food-related accident, he interacts, through voice memos, with two of his legendary ancestors, celebrity food critics in Beirut in the late 19th century. Garbi, an outcast, looks to his ancestors for guidance to better understand his own condition. Ashta is Samir Hakim's hunger-centric, captivating and extremely original debut novel. Though twisted and dark at times, the book is a comedic celebration of life in the midst of our everyday search for meaning.
