Translated from Spanish for the first time, and with a new
introduction to the English edition, The Sky Is Incomplete: Travel
Chronicles in Palestine is comprised of sixty short entries
detailing life in and reflections on the Occupied Territories of
Palestine in the twenty-first century. In this collection, Irmgard
Emmelhainz operates in the committed literature tradition of Walter
Benjamin and Andre Gide in Moscow in the 1920s, and Susan Sontag
and Juan Goytisolo in Sarajevo in the 1990s—writers and cultural
observers grappling with the political processes of others,
elsewhere. Â In order to render the issue of representation,
of speaking on behalf of the Palestinian ordeal in all its
complexity, The Sky Is Incomplete is composed as a collage,
gathering diary entries, letters, experimental passages, script,
poetry, art criticism, political analysis, and other genres to
convey an opaque view of the Palestine Question. Beyond
representation in the sense of giving testimony or speaking on
behalf of the Palestinians, however, the author’s parting point
is relational: The Sky Is Incomplete is about encounters—with
friends, mentors, interlocutors, lovers, children, activists, and
soldiers (Israeli and Palestinian).
