Selamlik - Khaled Alesmael

Descriere Selamlik - Khaled Alesmael

An unflinching story about Arab masculinity and homoeroticism Furat, a Syrian in his early 20s, \nvisits Sibki Park in Damascus, one of the city's most popular cruising areas. There \nhe learns about the hammams, secret meeting places for gay men located \nthroughout the old city. Inside these public baths, the air is thick with the \nscent of bay laurel soap, and naked men hide in the steam. Furat faces sometimes \nviolent disapproval from all levels of society--regime, religion, the man in the \nstreet--and yet he manages to find the love he's been seeking just before his \nworld collapses and he's forced to flee. Selamlik is the story of Furat's \njourney, along with that of other refugees. It's a journey in which they face \nphysical and economic hardship, draconian migration laws, and the unwelcome \ngrief, shame, and hatred they've carried with them from their ever more distant \npasts. Despite everything, Furat remains steadfast in his pursuit of passion, pleasure, \nand love. \nAn unflinching story about Arab masculinity and homoeroticism Furat, a Syrian in his early 20s, \nvisits Sibki Park in Damascus, one of the city's most popular cruising areas.
