Minor Detail (Tafāşīl thānawī)
Adania Shibli, Elisabeth Jaquette (translation)A blistering allegory about state violence & the conscription of women’s bodies. In its minor details, Shibli’s novel offers a piercing account of everyday life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. The translation by Elisabeth Jaquette is superb. Minor Detail is a credo for revolution, a major book: tense, propulsive & timely. — Emily Stewart, The Saturday Paper

Adania Shibli’s haunting meditation on war, violence & memory, cuts to the heart of the Palestinian experience of dispossession.
In the summer of 1949, one year after 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from Israel during what they call the Nakba, or catastrophe, & Israelis call the War of Independence, a group of Israeli soldiers rape & murder a teenage Palestinian girl.
In the near-present day, a young woman in Ramallah embarks on a journey of discovery into the events surrounding that rape & murder. She becomes fascinated by it to the point of obsession -venturing into Israel to search for missing details - not only because of its gruesome nature but also because it happened to take place 25 years to the day before she was born.

“The dead are ever present in Adania Shibli’s novel Minor Detail. Indirectly through multiple narrators, Shibli constructs a meditation on brutality, war, memory & the collective suffering of the Palestinian people in this chilling novel in which the legacy of violence remains unresolved.”— Lauren LeBlanc, The Observer
“Shibli has created a powerful set of dual heroines, women wracked with disquiet & 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
