Sponsored by

Longlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize, Minor Detail is a graceful yet haunting political novel about the Palestinian experience of dispossession and erasure. Intertwining narratives, it revolves around a brutal crime covered up during the War of 1948 and a nameless young woman obsessed with trying to unearth the truth. Author Adania Shibli talks to Esa Aldegheri.
