About the Contributors
The anthology reflects the concerns of Palestinians — from life under occupation to questions of identity. Politics and its impact on individual lives is not the only theme of this fiction, which ranges from the surreal to reportage in style. There are also love stories, poignant reflections on family life and on exile.

Praise for Qissat ...
Excerpts
Zaki's father couldn't understand this. He had never left the village for more than three days, and then only to travel thirty miles to Jerusalem to see a doctor about his closed-up ear. When he came home, he kept saying it was hard to breathe in the city, you had to share the air with too many lungs.
