An experimental novel that explores the complexity of Palestinian
identity through extended metaphor and dark humor. On a plastic
chair in a parking lot in Ramallah sits a young man writing a
novel, reflecting on his life: working in a dance club on the
Israeli side of the border, scratching his father's amputated leg,
dreaming nightly of a haunting scorpion, witnessing the powerful
aura of his mountain-lodging aunt. His work in progress is a
meditation on absence, loss, and emptiness. He poses deep
questions: What does it mean to exist? How can you confirm the
existence of a place, a person, a limb? How do we engage with what
is no longer there? Absurd at times, raw at others, The Dance of
the Deep-Blue Scorpion explores Palestinian identity through Akram
Musallam's extended metaphors in the hope of transcending the loss
of territory and erasure of history.
