Balsam Karam & Adania Shibli: Lost and Found

In The Singularity and Minor Detail, Balsam Karam and Adania Shibli have written two challenging yet deeply powerful novels of loss. Or losses, really, because they are numerous, complex, and recurring: children disappear, homelands are left behind, identities are erased, and characters’ sense of what’s normal becomes hazy. The authors meditate on the shapes of loss with Roxani Krystalli – how does fiction help them reclaim what’s missing?
