Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In a world scarred by indiscriminate bombing, forced starvation, and mass displacement, a nameless survivor lies crushed beneath the rubble of a bombing alive, but barely.Entombed in darkness with no hope of rescue, he must navigate the thin edge between life and death using only his hearing, sense of smell, and the volatile power of his imagination. Above him a genocide unfolds. Below, in his fragile pocket of air, he begins to witness it in ways no unburied survivor ever could.As hours blur into days, hallucination and reality weave together. Memories seep through the cracks. Fantastical visions rise from the dust. In this liminal state, he gains a strange, heightened clarity, an almost supernatural insight known only to those suspended between worlds, the mortally wounded who hover in the space where time fractures and the mind sharpens to a blade.What begins as desperate escapism becomes a haunting chronicle of a people forced underground by violence, a nation living beneath the weight of anothers cruelty. In the darkness, he discovers a grim sanctuary: the rubble is a tomb but also a refuge from the firestorm above.A wartime tale of resilience amid annihilation, Seraj Assi's debut novel plunges readers into the intimate terror of one mans confinement and the collective suffering of his shattered homeland. As he reflects, 'Being under the rubble is a strange thing.Youre clinging to life not to live, but to defy death. Just because youre breathing doesnt mean youre alive. Youre a ghost, and your homeland is but a ghostland.'This is the story of a people driven underground not by myth or choice, but by force: We are subterranean only because others refuse to allow us our place under the sun.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Palestinian novel about witnessing a massacre, and worse still, surviving it.Resurrected in Heaven, a bewildered survivor of a massacre flashes back to harrowing events unfolding in an unnamed besieged town, a camp ravished by hunger and swollen with displaced people and starving children, where a hopeful euphoria building at a breadline culminates in a tragedy and bleak dissolution. Centered on the theme of hunger, the essence of bread, and the magic of flour in a place on the brink of mass starvation, Red Flour is essentially a love story that takes place in a breadline. But can love blossom in a place ravished by hunger? Languishing under an unending siege and constant bombardment, the camp soon dwindles into a necropolis where bone-thin children wither away in the arms of hapless parents, dying a most agonizing death, before being loaded hurriedly into waiting wagons and buried in haste. And beyond starvation a flour massacre unfolds, leading to the protagonists cry: Even our bread is massacred, murdered before its leavened. This is a compelling story of death and survival, of bread and roses, in a world in which humanity is at a brink.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Ltd. ed of 300. As new.

Leyburn: Tartarus Press:, 2023. First edition, Hardcover, Limited, New in dust jacket, 214 pp. This edition limited to 300 copies. "'It's an extraordinary sensation to be finally on the wing when everything else is falling apart. It's like I've been abducted by extraterrestrials and beamed away from this doomed world.' So begins My Life As An Alien, Seraj Assi's brilliant debut novel. Described by one reader as 'Kafka as Everyman', it is the interior travelogue of a nameless refugee as he escapes, with very mixed feelings, from his war-torn Middle Eastern homeland and heads to a new life in the 'Land of the Free'. The book explores how it feels to be seen as an alien and suspected of being a terrorist by nearly every Westerner you encounter. How being considered fully human is only an aspiration for many people in the world. How unlikely it is that the meek will inherit the Earth. But our hero is no prophet or saint, and as we learn more of the life he has left behind, it becomes clear that he is, perhaps, only too human after all. This is an original and compelling book that offers a very different perspective on the world we thought we knew." First edition, Hardcover, Limited, New in dust jacket.…
