About the Book

Michael Chabon, Dave Eggers, Mario Vargas Llosa, Colm Tóibín, Ayelet Waldman, Maylis de Kerangal, Graldine Brooks, Jacqueline Woodson, Ala Hlehel, Madeleine Thien, Rachel Kusher, RajaShehadeh, Lars Saabye Christensen, Emily Raboteau, Assaf Gavron, Taiye Selasi, Eimear McBride, Hari Kunzru, Lorraine Adams, Helon Habila, Eva Menasse, Anita Desai, PorochistaKhakpour, Fida Jiryis, Arnon Grunberg & Colum McCain. Michael Chabon y su esposa, la escritora de origen israelí Ayelet Waldman, han convocado a algunas de las plumas más destacadas del panorama internacional para que nos den su visión sobre un conflicto enquistado: la ocupación israelí de Palestina.

Veinticinco escritores de primer nivel aportan en este libro su visión sobre la ocupación israelí de Palestina. Invitados por la ONG Breaking the Silence (Rompiendo el Silencio), sus textos son apuntes del natural cuando se cumplen cincuenta años de la guerra de los Seis Días. Lejos del seguimiento mediático del conflicto, estas historias nacen de encuentros con líderes políticos, intelectuales y activistas, pero también de la convivencia con empresarios, granjeros, abuelos, padres e hijos.

Son testimonios como el de Mario Vargas Llosa en tribunales militares, en procesos a menores de edad con los nervios rotos por un programa de intimidación que siembra el pánico para prevenir el hipotético terror. En estas páginas, el lector encontrará también los recuerdos de Colm Tóibín y sus entrevistas con Yasser Arafat, o asistirá a la estupefacción de un Michael Chabon que sigue los pasos de un norteamericano que ha perdido su nacionalidad y vive una existencia kafkiana desde que decidió residir el pueblo de su familia, en Cisjordania.

Reseñas:
«Estas historias, profundamente inquietantes, exigen respuestas urgentes al conflicto de Oriente Próximo. [...] Son testimonios conmovedores, desgarradores y exasperantes que dancuenta de la escalofriante crueldad de la política de Israel hacia los palestinos.»
Kirkus Review

«El mensaje es inquebrantable: la vida bajo la ocupación es espantosa y opresiva.»
Publishers Weekly

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A groundbreaking collection of essays by celebrated international writers bears witness to the human cost of fifty years of Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.

In Kingdom of Olives and Ash, Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman, two of today's most renowned novelists and essayists, have teamed up with the Israeli NGO Breaking the Silence--an organization comprised of former Israeli soldiers who served in the occupied territories and saw firsthand the injustice there--and a host of illustrious writers to tell the stories of the people on the ground in the contested territories.

Kingdom of Olives and Ash includes contributions from several of today's most esteemed storytellers including: Colum McCann, Jacqueline Woodson, Colm Toibin, Geraldine Brooks, Dave Eggers, Hari Kunzru, Raja Shehadeh, Mario Vargas Llosa and Assaf Gavron, as well as from editors Chabon and Waldman. Through these incisive, perceptive, and poignant essays, readers will gain unique insight into the narratives behind the litany of grim destruction broadcasted nightly on the news, as well as deeper understanding of the conflict as experienced by the people who live in the occupied territories. Together, these stories stand witness to the human cost of the occupation.
