内容简介
In his debut, Dancing Arabs, Sayed Kashua established
himself as one of the most daring voices of the Middle East. In his
searing new novel, a young Arab journalist returns to his hometown
— an Arab village within Israel — where his already vexed sense of
belonging is forced to crisis when the village becomes a pawn in
the never-ending power struggle that is the Middle East. Hoping to
reclaim the simplicity of life among kin, the prodigal son returns
home to find that nothing is as he remembers: everything is
smaller, the people are petty and provincial. But when Israeli
tanks surround the village without warning or explanation, everyone
inside is cut off from the outside world. As the situation grows
increasingly dire, the village devolves into a Darwinian jungle,
where paranoia quickly takes hold and threatens the community’s
fragile equilibrium.
With the enduring moral and literary power of Camus and Orwell,
Let It Be Morning offers an intimate, eye-opening portrait
of the conflicted allegiances of the Israeli Arabs, proving once
again that Sayed Kashua is a fearless, prophetic observer of a
political and human quagmire that offers no easy answers.
