Description
In this book, the Palestinian critic and thinker Dr. Faisal Darraj draws out fragments from his own life and memory—reflections that have shaped, and been shaped by, his personal trajectory, his life, and his ideas. Written in a rich and unique literary style, the narrative spans his journey from the tragedy of the Nakba and his departure from his village, Al-Ja’una, in Upper Galilee, through the various towns and cities he inhabited—both in the East and the West—to the dear friends who have since passed away, the ordinary people who enriched his life, and the issues that preoccupied and troubled him: alienation, exile, the refugee experience, constant displacement, modernity, culture, and the act of writing. It also touches upon his profound love for books, knowledge, and cinema, as well as his unwavering, lifelong commitment to the cause of Palestine.
