With concise yet philosophical prose, poet Theo Dorgan delivers a meditative novel on violence and the impact of our individual choices, juxtaposing the narrator’s personal history with global history.

As our protagonist Joseph excavates his past, the reader is asked how one constructs meaning from their past, and to sit in the gap between our imagined self, and our fate as a person.

This book simultaneously functions as a searing thriller, and an evocative, philosophical piece of prose.

Nathan Thrall’s A Day in the Life of Abed Salama is a powerful and deeply human account of one Palestinian father’s quest for answers after a tragic accident in the West Bank. Through the lens of a single day, Thrall masterfully reveals the layers of systemic injustice, personal grief, and political complexity that define life under occupation.

Both intimate and incisive, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the everyday realities behind the headlines.

A moving, urgent, and unforgettable work of narrative nonfiction, this Pulitzer Prize winning book is perfect for someone looking for a powerful and personal account of life in Palestine.
