In The Fading Colors, Elie Melach throws an astonished and uncomprehending look at the unmistakable signs of deterioration and collapse of the fragile world balance: The Hungarian Revolution, the Prague Spring, the bellicose escalade in the Middle-East. And it is with overwhelming sorrow that he contemplates the gigantic fallacy that, for him, culminates with the Sabra and Shatila massacres, the Berlin Wall, the Lebanon War. Faced with his impotence over the monstrous happenings, Elie measures both the futility of his efforts and the dimension, inexplicable and distressing, of his own guilt. His struggle, dismay, and his feeling of inadequacy are, in some measure, the expression of a long gestated failure, the anguished drift of a personal and generational epic. The Fading Colors is essentially a twilight itinerary, through which Elie Melach-in an inner journey-explores the avenues of his own vital trajectory that lead him to a reencounter with his origins. The reader will discover in The Fading Colors a powerful narrative voice, essentially ethical and, in its literary quality, radically honest.
