Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Minor Detail begins during the summer of 1949, one year after the war that the Palestinians mourn as the Nakbathe catastrophe that led to the displacement and exile of some 700,000 peopleand the Israelis celebrate as the War of Independence. Israeli soldiers murder an encampment of Bedouin in the Negev desert, and among their victims they capture a Palestinian teenager and they rape her, kill her, and bury her in the sand. Many years later, in the near-present day, a young woman in Ramallah tries to uncover some of the details surrounding this particular rape and murder, and becomes fascinated to the point of obsession, not only because of the nature of the crime, but because it was committed exactly twenty-five years to the day before she was born. Adania Shibli masterfully overlays these two translucent narratives of exactly the same length to evoke a present forever haunted by the past. A searing, beautiful novel meditating on war, violence, memory, and the sufferings of the Palestinian people Finalist for the National Book Award Longlisted for the International Booker Prize Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book Description paperback. Condition: New. Reprint. Review"An explosive double-telling of a single crime story. The extreme economies of Shibli's style-blending aphorism and enigma, dry humor and searing critique-recall the novellas of César Aira and Mario Bellatin. In the act of writing such an evocative, tightly wrought fiction, in her invention of such a complex, fighting character who is at once the victim's double and the author's stand-in, Shibli not only reflects the deadening conditions of occupation. She also, crucially, transcends the damage they have done."- 4Columns"Shibli crafts a story that connects strangers to one another through the occupation that has shaped their lives. Nerve-racking and eye-opening."- Arab News"Like an affidavit in its egalitarian specificity-every detail of every character's action is accounted for, and therefore scrutinized. A starkly poetic accounting of a crime, its burial, and its exhumation."- Alia Persico-Shammas, Community Bookstore"In Adania Shibli's subversively quiet, compelling Minor Detail, threads of connection are embodied in a young woman's quest to find almost erased history. Written in spare, careful language (praise also to translator Elisabeth Jaquette), Shibli helps reclaim what would be obliterated by forces actively at work yet today, doing so with a narrative masterfully carrying both surprise and inevitability within. This book has devastation and loss to a shattering, wrenching degree, and yet. Yes, and yet."- Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company"Shibli has created a powerful set of dual heroines, women wracked with disquiet and violence, resisting the frames that have first, been chosen for them, then denied to have ever existed. This is an astonishing, major book."- John Freeman, Lithub"An intense and penetrating work about the profound impact of living with violence-Shibli's work is powerful and this translation by Elisabeth Jaquette is rendered with exquisite clarity and quiet control."- Katie da Cunha Lewin, Los Angeles Review of Books"Though Minor Detail initially promises to be a kind of counterhistory or whodunit-a rescue of the victim's story from military courts and Israeli newspapers-it turns out to be something stranger and bleaker. Rather than a discovery of hidden truths, or a search for justice, it is a meditation on the repetitions of history, the past as a recurring trauma.For Shibli, the emblematic experience of occupation is the longue durée of ennui and isolation rather than the dramatic moment of crisis."- Robyn Creswell, New York Review of Books"A palpable sense of dread pulses beneath Minor Detail. In Elisabeth Jaquette's fine translation from Arabic, Shibli asks how we can account for and understand major crimes, by looking more closely for the details that escape."- Prospect Magazine"Startling, cinematic: Shibli's masterly, acidic work of subtle symbolism and plot symmetry gives no access to the thoughts of the Israeli soldiers or their victim, making the Palestinian woman's subsequent first-person narration all the more arresting. This is a remarkable exercise in dramatizing a desire for justice."- Publishers Weekly"Exquisitely powerful: though focused on the finest details-flakes of rust against skin, the softness of grass-Shibli takes readers to the center of a family and a culture, using the same careful, dispassionate observation to report everyday events like the father's shaving as she does to depict the death of a sibling in area violence. Like a great volume of poetry, Shibli's prose has rhythm and unexpected momentum, and cries for rereading."- Publishers Weekly"The terror Shibli evokes intensifies slowly, smouldering, until it is shining off the page.The book is, at every turn, dangerously and devastatingly good."- The Guardian"Palestinian Adania Shibli's cinematic novel stages a return of the repressed on a national scale by reposing an atrocity committed by Israeli soldiers in the Negev region in 1949. An unflinching account of vio. Seller Inventory # BKZN9780811229074
