"Nothing moved except the mirage."

Opening sentence from Adania Shibli's *Minor Detail*, which I started last night.

Germany deporting EU citizens for their political activism is another chilling step towards a new era of authoritarianism - orchestrated not by the AfD, but by the so-called political centre...

And worse again, most of the German media seem to ignore this latest incident!

Germany is now deporting pro-Palestine EU citizens. This is a chilling new step

The country’s so-called political centre has licensed a new era of authoritarianism – to the AfD’s delight, says Hanno Hauenstein, a Berlin-based journalist

The Guardian

„Im Sommer 1949 wird ein palĂ€stinensisches BeduinenmĂ€dchen von israelischen Soldaten missbraucht und ermordet. Jahrzehnte spĂ€ter versucht eine junge Frau aus Ramallah, mehr ĂŒber diesen Vorfall herauszufinden. [
]“ (Umschlagtext)

Ich bin gespannt auf den Roman.

Adania Shibli: Eine Nebensache

Adania Shiblin pieni ja jÀrisyttÀvÀ romaani Sivuseikka sijoittuu Palestiinaan. Kirjan ensimmÀinen osa ajoittuu vuoteen 1948, kun Israelin sotilaat raiskaavat ja tappavat beduiinitytön. Vuosia myöhemmin palestiinalaisnainen lukee tapauksesta lehdestÀ ja kiinnostuu siitÀ, koska on syntynyt tasan 25 vuotta tytön kuoleman jÀlkeen. HÀn pÀÀttÀÀ alkaa tutkia tapausta.

Varsinkin kirjan alkupuolisko on kammottava. Se on kuitenkin myös taidokas: Shibli luo hienosti intensiivistÀ tunnelmaa esimerkiksi kuvaamalla hajuja, kuumuutta ja sotilasjoukon johtajan toistuvia rutiineja. Toisessa osassa taas naisen arkisten toimien kautta lukijan silmien eteen avautuu palestiinalaisten elÀmÀ miehityksen alla ulkonaliikkumiskieltoineen, tarkastuspisteineen ja henkilökortteineen. Kaikkiaan kirja on vÀkevÀ ja vaikuttava, sellainen joka jÀttÀÀ jÀljen. Mieleen jÀÀvÀt sekÀ teema ettÀ Shiblin kirjallinen taituruus.

Kirjan on suomentanut Sampsa Peltonen.

Adania Shibli: Das Buch als Feind

Die palĂ€stinensische Autorin Adania Shibli erhielt fĂŒr ihr Buch «Eine Nebensache» 2023 den LiBeraturpreis. Nach dem Massaker der Hamas vom 7. Oktober 2023 wurde die geplante Preisverleihung im Rahmen der Frankfurter Buchmesse auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben. Hier die nie gehaltene Preisrede der Autorin.

Tagesanzeiger review of Minor Detail;

"... the book's first-person narrative and empathetic tone mask a basic problem in the text: all Israeli soldiers are portrayed as anonymous rapists and killers, while Palestinians are victims of trigger-happy occupiers. Violence against Israeli civilians is not mentioned, perhaps because it is considered a legitimate means in the struggle for liberation against the occupiers."

I wrote something about #Palestine - an appreciation of Palestinian writer #AdaniaShibli. I'm sharing it here because the site that hosts it has been subject to complaints and bans on other social media and its fundraising has been frozen. It seeks to represent Palestinian artists and their voices and those who support those voices. You don't have to read my piece but please do look at the site and share anything that resonates with you. There are some beautiful things there. https://www.convergence-s.org/post/adania-shibli-atal-joshi
Adania Shibli - Atul Joshi

Atul Joshi Tracing Numbness In On Learning to Write Again, Palestinian writer Adania Shibli describes receiving an automated phone call from the Israeli Defence Forces that orders her to evacuate her home due to imminent bombing. She writes “it’s the kind of call made by the Israeli army when it is about to bomb a residential building
 The moment someone answers the call, they relinquish their ability to accuse the Israeli government of war crimes or crimes against humanity, as they have been «
