‘A powerful and unique collection. It articulates in beautiful prose Palestinians’ trauma but also their resilience in the face of the ongoing Nakba.’ LowkeyA Map of Absence presents the finest poetry and prose by Palestinian writers over the last seventy years. Featuring writers in the diaspora and those living under occupation, these striking entries pay testament to one of the most pivotal events in modern history – the 1948 Nakba.This unique, landmark anthology includes translated excerpts of works by major authors such as Mahmoud Darwish, Ghassan Kanafani and Fadwa Tuqan alongside those of emerging writers, published here in English for the first time. Depicting the varied aspects of Palestinian life both before and after 1948, their writings highlight the ongoing resonances of the Nakba.An intimate companion for all lovers of world literature, A Map of Absence reveals the depth and breadth of Palestinian writing.
