Touch by Adania Shibli
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1566568072 | 80 pages | EPUB | 0.9 MB
'Touch' centers on a girl, the youngest of nine sisters in a Palestinian family. In the singular world of this novella, this young woman's everyday experiences-watching a funeral procession, fighting with her siblings, learning to read, falling in love-resonate until they have become as weighty as any national tragedy. The smallest sensations compel, the events of history only lurk at the edges: the question of Palestine, the massacre at Sabra and Shatila. In a language that feels at once natural and alienated, Shibli breaks with the traditions of modern Arabic fiction, creating a work that has been and will continue to be hailed across literatures.
