When he was seven years old, Palestinian poet Ghassan Zaqtan moved
with his family to a Karameh refugee camp east of the River Jordan.
That camp--a center of Palestinian resistance following the Six-Day
War and the site of major devastation when Israel razed the camp
following the Battle of Karameh in 1968--is the setting for
Zaqtan's first prose work to appear in English, Describing the
Past. This novella is a coming of age story, a tale of youth set
amid the death and chaos of war and violence. It is an elegy for
the loss of a childhood friend, and for childhood itself, brought
back to life here as if dreams and memories have merged into a new
state of being, an altered consciousness and way of being in and
remembering the world.
