Pay no heed to the rockets

by Marcello Di Cintio
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Di Cintio first visited Palestine in 1999. Like most outsiders, the Palestinian narrative that he knew had been simplified by an unending struggle, stories of oppression, exile, and occupation told over and over again. In Pay No Heed to the Rockets, he reveals a more complex story, the Palestinian experience as seen through the lens of authors, books, and literature. Using the form of a political-literary travelogue, he explores what literature means to modern Palestinians and how Palestinians make sense of the conflict between a rich imaginative life and the daily tedium and violence of survival. He meets with poets, authors, librarians, and booksellers and begins to see Palestine through their eyes and stories. He tells a fresh story about Palestine, one that begins with art rather than war.
