»Täuschung« Lesung mit Adania Shibli

Host: Lena Gorelik
Reading: Sabrina Khalil

No names, no dates, no places. Only the changing of the seasons offers a glimpse into the unfolding lives of two people in Palestine. Buried beneath the rubble of failed peace negotiations, the protagonists’ dreams fade away. With clear and precise language, Adania Shibli’s *Deception* (Hanser // German translation by Hartmut Fähndrich) explores the glances and gestures that carry so much meaning in a world marked by pain and loss. As a “quiet, searching, precise observer of detail” (SZ), Shibli sensitively depicts the effects of power imbalances, disillusionment, and the protagonists’ sense of loss in an uncertain present.
