A review by wmbogart
Minor Detail by Adania Shibli
Incredibly bleak and harrowing, obviously. Necessarily so.
There’s a huge formal (and perspective) shift between the novella’s two sections. The halves really speak to one another, and to the larger impact of Israeli aggression and atrocities waged against Palestinians from the Nakba to the present day. How those things are felt and how they are still happening. The second half is so well-rendered and overwhelming that I had to put it down a couple times.
