About Touch by Adania Shibli
In this novella, the youngest of nine sisters in a Palestinian family experiences the world through the small details of everyday life. Ordinary sensations and actions take on particular weight, while larger events remain at the edges.
The question of Palestine and the massacre at Sabra and Shatila form part of that historical backdrop. Shibli’s language is described as both natural and alienated, making this a fitting choice for readers interested in Palestinian fiction, modern Arabic literature, and understated literary narratives.
