Lebanese novelist Mohammad Tarzi said that Naguib Mahfouz’s words about the homeland, along with a conversation he had heard with a young man in his twenties about his failed attempts to escape “the cemetery,” inspired him to write *Muted Microphone*. The next day, he learned that the young man had died by suicide, and dedicated the novel to him. Set in Beirut between 2018 and 2022, the novel explores the lives of the marginalized amid the economic collapse and the port explosion. It portrays the alienation of living within one’s homeland and a generation’s uncertainty over whether to stay or leave. In 2024, it won the Naguib Mahfouz Award for Literature and the Katara Prize for Arabic Novel.
