About the Book

How do Palestinians live, imagine and reflect on home and exile? How can exile and home be written? In this volume of new writing, 15 outstanding Palestinian writers—essayists, poets, novelists, critics, artists and memoirists—respond with their reflections, experiences, memories and polemics. The contributors probe the past through unconventional memories, reflecting on 1948 when it all began. But they are also deeply interested in beginnings, imagining, in the words of Mischa Hiller, “a Palestine that reflects who we are now and who we hope to become”. Poignant, humorous, intimate, reflective, intensely political, the collection is remarkable for the candour and grace with which it explores the many individual and collective experiences of waiting, living for, and seeking Palestine.
