(P/B) KINGDOM OF OLIVES AND ASH

Παρουσίαση

Storytelling is a territory, free and unrestricted. This groundbreaking collection of essays by celebrated international writers shows the human cost of fifty years of Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
In "Kingdom of Olives and Ash", Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman have teamed up with the Israeli NGO Breaking the Silence -an organization comprised of former Israeli soldiers who served in the occupied territories and saw firsthand the injustice there- and a host of illustrious writers.
"Kingdom of Olives and Ash" includes contributions from several of today's most esteemed storytellers including Colum McCann, Jacqueline Woodson, Colm Toibin, Geraldine Brooks, Dave Eggers, Hari Kunzru, Rachel Kushner, Mario Vargas Llosa and Eimear McBride, as well as from Chabon and Waldman. These incisive, perceptive and poignant essays offer unique insight into the narratives behind the litany of grim destruction broadcast nightly on the news, as well as a deeper understanding of the conflict as experienced by the people who live in the occupied territories.
