Posted by in Book Reviews | Essays | Interviews | Reviews - (Comments Off)“Absent, I come to the home of the absent,” the leading Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish, writes. No other poet captures the Palestinian consciousness and collective memory the way he does. At sixty-one, whether he is giving a reading in Paris or Palestine, he draws crowds of thousands, from government officials to schoolteachers, taxi drivers to students.

I had an experience just recently where I ran into a woman who’d been stalking one of the musicians mentioned in your book for fourteen years.
