Adania Shibli, la voz central de la narrativa palestina contemporánea. Finalista del National Book Award e International Booker Prize por Un detalle menor. «Sobrecogedora . --J. M. Coetzee «La escritura de Shibli es sutil y de una agudeza extraordinaria . --The Guardian Las estaciones pasan: cambia la luz, cambia el color del paisaje, cambia la intensidad del calor sobre la tierra. Adania Shibli no necesita anclar la historia en lugares concretos, ni aportar nombres ni fechas, para convertir Engaño en una narración sobrecogedora que sigue las vidas de una joven y un joven cuyas trayectorias avanzan en paralelo, marcadas por una misma realidad: el intento sistemático de desposeer a los palestinos de su territorio, de su historia y de su sentido de pertenencia. Y mientras el tiempo sigue su curso, indiferente a las expulsiones, el exilio, la cárcel o la tortura, Shibli transforma la experiencia palestina en herramienta metafórica para un relato sobre cómo la ocupación se infiltra en cada aspecto de la vida cotidiana y cómo el colonialismo no solo controla cuerpos y lugares, sino que también busca silenciar relatos, borrar memorias y quebrar identidades. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Adania Shibli, the leading voice in contemporary Palestinian fiction. Finalist for the National Book Award and the International Booker Prize for A Minor Detail. Haunting. --J. M. Coetzee Shibli's writing is subtle and extraordinarily sharp. --The Guardian The seasons pass: the light changes, the color of the landscape changes, the intensity of the heat on the earth changes. Adania Shibli needs neither to anchor the story in specific places nor to provide names or dates to turn Deception into a gripping narrative that follows the lives of a young woman and a young man whose paths run parallel, marked by a shared reality: the systematic attempt to deprive Palestinians of their land, their history, and their sense of belonging. And as time marches on, indifferent to expulsions, exile, imprisonment, or torture, Shibli transforms the Palestinian experience into a metaphorical tool for a story about how the occupation infiltrates every aspect of daily life and how colonialism not only controls bodies and places but also seeks to silence narratives, erase memories, and shatter identities.
