Minor Detail by Adania Shibli
5.0
“Besides, sometimes it’s inevitable for the past to be forgotten, especially if the present is no less horrific.”
haunting.
striking direct comparisons between the two sections. very effective in the repetition of mundane details alongside the horrors of 1949 and present-day occupation of Palestine.
despite being so short, the first half took me a few days due to the content, but I loved the narrator’s voice in the modern day half.
“I fast forward the tape, then I rewind it. Again and again, I build settlements and dismantle them.” (quotes transcribed from audiobook so formatting may be incorrect)
