I Saw Ramallah |
| Mourid Barghouti |
| Anchor Books, 2003, paperback, 184 pp. |
| An autobiographical memoir about the ironies of homecoming, this is the first narrative work of the well-known Palestinian poet Mourid Barghouti. In Cairo completing his university exams in 1967, he was made a refugee overnight; in 1996, he was permitted to return to Palestine. This is a story of home and homelessness, and as Edward Said writes in his introduction, "one of the finest existential accounts of Palestinian displacement that we now have." Winner of the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature. |
