This book offers a unique artistic vision showing the tragedy and absurdity of normal events in one of the most contested & isolated areas of the world. Through their own artistic vision, contemporary artists Ottonella Mocellin and Nicola Pellegrini - who studied at the Chelsea School of Art and the Architectural Association, respectively - narrate the disorienting tragedy of everyday life in Gaza, where things that are normal in the rest of the world become abnormal and, were it not for the suffering, absurd, through the words of three people: David Grossman, an Israeli writer and prominent exponent of Peace Now, who currently lives in Jerusalem; Leila El Haddad, a Palestinian journalist living in Gaza; and Mahmud Darwish, one of the world's most critically acclaimed and respect Arab-American poets.
