Book Thoughts: “Minor Detail” by Adania Shibli
<p>This book is written in two parts: the first part leads you through an eerie, calm, brutality. In journal like entries, set in 1949 Palestine, it details what takes place in an Israeli military camp to a young Bedouin girl who was found and taken by a reconnaissance brigade.</p>
<p>There are times when you read a piece of fiction and deep down you know the events are entirely plausible but because it is fiction it lets you separate yourself. However, the first part of ‘Minor Detail’ is based on a true event, published <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/nov/04/israel1" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here in 2003</a>. The author, Adania Shibli, tackles this retelling with a militaristic tone of detachment, specificity, and convenient vagueness.</p>
