Description
Marcello Di Cintio first visited Palestine in 1999. Like most outsiders, the Palestinian narrative that he knew had been simplified by a seemingly unending struggle, a near-Sisyphean curse of stories of oppression, exile, and occupation told over and over again.
In Pay No Heed to the Rockets, he reveals a more complex story, the Palestinian experience as seen through the lens of authors, books, and literature. Using the form of a political-literary travelogue, he explores what literature means to modern Palestinians and how Palestinians make sense of the conflict between a rich imaginative life and the daily tedium and violence of survival.
In the company of literary giants like Mahmoud Darwish and Ghassan Kanafani, and the contemporary authors whom they continue to inspire, Di Cintio travels through the rich cultural and literary heritage of Palestine. On his way, he uncovers a humanity, and a beauty, often unnoticed by news media and tells a fresh story about Palestine, one that begins with art rather than war.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“That Di Cintio researches his subjects thoroughly, conducts in depth reporting, and writes with vigor and humility is testimony to his skill in handling one of the most divisive political stories of the last 100 years.” — Kamal Al-Solaylee, Quill & Quire
"Di Cintio introduces us to dozens of writers, each living a different creative life in cities ranging from Ramallah to Haifa to Gaza to Jerusalem.” — The National
“Di Cintio weaves together history with a sense of place and infuses character with dialogue and humor to produce a contemporary portrait of a people who continue to resist both occupation and simple categorization in this masterful work.” — Selma Dabbagh, The Electronic Intifada
