Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "Gaza Writes Back: Short Stories from Young
Writers in Gaza, Palestine" edited by Refaat Alareer.
It's been read and spell-checked-many non-English names/words. All headers
stripped, page numbers/chapter titles present/protected, fonts adjusted. 207
pages.
Description:
Gaza Writes Back is a collection of short stories from fifteen young writers
in Gaza, members of a generation that has suffered immensely under Israel's
siege and blockade. Their experiences, especially during and following
Israel's 2008-2009 offensive known as Operation Cast Lead have fundamentally
impacted their lives and their writing.
Indeed, many of these writers saw the war as a catalyst for their writing,
as they sought an outlet and a voice in its aftermath. They view the book
as a means of preserving Palestinian memories and presenting their
narratives to the world without filters. Their words take us into the homes
and hearts of moms, dads, students, children, and elders striving to live
lives of dignity, compassion, and meaning in one of the world's most
embattled communities.
Deborah
