In the summer of 2014, during a brief lull in the bombing from Israel's Operation Protective Edge, photos emerged of a young Gazan girl in a green dress sifting through the rubble of her destroyed home. She was looking for her books. In Pay No Heed to the Rockets, Di Cintio travels to Palestine to find the girl. 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 violence of survival. Taking the long route through the West Bank, into Jerusalem, across Israel and finally into Gaza, he meets with poets, authors, librarians, and booksellers to learn about Palestine through their eyes, and through the story of their stories. Di Cintio travels through the rich cultural and literary heritage of Palestine. It's there that he uncovers a humanity, and a beauty, often unnoticed by news media. At the seventieth anniversary of the Arab-Israeli War, Pay No Heed to the Rockets tells a fresh story about Palestine, one that begins with art rather than war."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Di Cintio, Marcello, $d 1973- $x Travel. 600 17 $a Di Cintio, Marcello, $d 1973- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00503978 650 0 $a Arabic literature $z Palestine $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z West Bank. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Gaza. $z Gaza. 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs $z West Bank $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs $z Gaza $z Gaza $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs in literature. 650 0 $a Arab-Israeli conflict $x Literature and the conflict. 650 7 $a Arab-Israeli conflict $x Literature and the conflict. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01899759 650 7 $a Arabic literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812478 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Palestinian Arabs in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051637 650 7 $a Palestinian Arabs $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051613 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 0 $a West Bank $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Gaza $x Social conditions. 651 7 $a Gaza Strip $z Gaza. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01220855 651 7 $a Middle East $z Palestine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207534 651 7 $a West Bank. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243256 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211021445.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190928010118.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20190329010325.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20190323011242.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006121232.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDC1BE2EB19A11E88C6D561597128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
