Abbas Beidoun (1945) is a well-known Lebanese poet and novelist. His works have been translated into several European languages. Beidoun published his first novel in 2002, when he was already a well-known and recognised Arab poet.

The novel is set in a Lebanese village. The protagonist, Hassan, lives here in his uncle's family. It all begins when the murderer of Hassan's mother returns to the village - his father, who was hiding in a neighbouring country for 18 years after the crime. There, he becomes part of an Islamist group. Together with the ruthless killer, his cruelty returns.

In Autumn Without Guilt, everything happens on the edge of love and hate, and the only answer to violence is revenge, and a crime begets another crime.
