- Synopsis
- The Eye of the Mirror is an epic novel set during the 1975—6 siege and subsequent massacre at the Tal el-Zaatar Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. The siege of the camp, in the area of Beirut controlled by the Christian militias, drew the Palestinians into the battle. This was one of the bloodiest incidents of the civil war, and has given great symbolic importance to Tal el-Zaater (or Tal Ezza’ tar, in the Palestinian pronunciation). In 1976 this ‘Stalingrad’ of the Palestinian refugees fell, ‘there were about 4,000 casualties and some 12,000 Palestinians fled to other parts of Lebanon. What remained of the camp was razed.
