The author does not use an authorial voice to deliver his message, instead, he accomplishes it through human relationships. When analyzing the language of the novel, Awwad uses intense poetic imagery, especially when describing the scene of Tamima getting seductued by Hani, as compared to other Arabic novels. Death in Beirut successfully explores the relationship of people with different religious backgrounds in a distressed community and describes the tragic historical events following the war of 1967 in Lebanon.[1]
