Journal of an Ordinary Grief by Mahmoud Darwish

Journal of an Ordinary Grief by Mahmoud Darwish

Darwish wrote this in 1973, in prose rather than verse, and it is the most direct account he ever gave of what daily life under occupation actually consists of.

It moves between interrogation rooms, the absurdity of being classed a present-absentee in your own village, a return to a house now occupied by strangers, and long arguments with an imagined questioner about whether any of this can be written about honestly. The title is exact — the grief here is not dramatic, it is administrative and constant.

Essential prose from the poet, and the best way to understand the world his poems come from.
