This is Not a Border: Reportage & Reflection from the Palestine Festival of Literature by Omar Robert Hamilton, Ahdaf Soueif

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

I would describe this book as a compilation of essays and poems about Palestine that captures the essence of both heartbreak and hope.

A group of authors embarked on a journey to occupied Palestine, each sharing their unique experiences. However, despite their diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, their narratives ended up feeling repetitive as they all recounted the same events from slightly different angles.

Though it took me much longer than usual to finish, I still feel the slower pace was well worth it.
