#Repost @octopusbooks (@get_repost) ・・・ New in the shop: Pay No Heed to the Rockets, Palestine in the present tense by Marcello Di Cintio. Marcello Di Cintio first visited Palestine in 1999. Like most outsiders, the Palestinian narrative that he knew had been simplified by a seemingly unending struggle, a near-Sisyphean curse of 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. . #paynoheedtotherockets #marcellodicintio #palestine #freepalestine #books #internationalpolitics #cheguevara #chemybrother #ibnkhaldun #biography
