Curious how Palestinian literature could operate with its people so tied to a single narrative, Di Cintio began a journey through the Palestinian world of books: from the monument to the poet Mahmoud Darwish to the volumes in the Nablus Prisoners' library; from one of the West Bank's most successful bookshops to a century-old library in Jerusalem run by a family with a lineage in that city many centuries older. What he found is a world of identity and resistance that is considerably more complex--and potentially more hopeful--than what we see splashed across our screens.","brand":"Knopf Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103997182192,"sku":"9780345809056","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780345809056_p0.jpg?v=1763688863","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780345809056","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
