CLOSE-UP: ADANIA SHIBLI
In her writing, Adania Shibli, (b. 1974, Palestine) has been engaged in exploring how literary forms and sensibilities are
influenced by colonial violence on language. One such instance is her latest book, Minor Detail, which was nominated for the National Book Award (2020), and the International Booker Prize (2021), and won the German LiBeraturpreis in 2023. The award ceremony for the latter, scheduled
for October 2023 at the Frankfurt Book Fair was abruptly cancelled. This triggered an international storm of protest.
