Publicerades 2025 av Bokförlaget Tranan.
I denna volym samlas tre korta berättelser: Män i solen, Det som finns kvar och Tillbaka till Haifa.
Alla berättelserna behandlar det palestinska folkets trauma - att vara på flykt, att vara felplacerad, avhuggna liv, förlorade familjemedlemmar, desperata situationer.
Män i solen var min favorit.
Three short novels - Men In the Sun, All That's Left To You and Returning to Haifa - that still feel mostly up to date despite over 50 years having passed. People having to live their lives on pause, waiting for a change, waiting to return to some sort of normality that never comes; generation upon generation on both sides raised on What Used To Be, and surrounded by both potential and actual violence the second they step out of line. Characters constantly living with that trauma to the point where the decades and the generations bleed together.
