Discussing The Book of Disappearance with IfNotNow Toronto, Tuesday July 14 @ 7 pm EDT
Join IfNotNow Toronto to discuss the innovative Palestinian novel The Book of Disappearance by Ibtisam Azem! This event is part of the "One Book, Many Communities" campaign by Librarians and Archivists with Palestine.

Set in modern-day Jaffa and the greater Tel Aviv area, the story follows Alaa, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and his friend Ariel, a Jewish Israeli. After Alaa disappears, Ariel finds Alaa’s journals. Alaa’s memory of his late grandmother, a survivor of the Nakba, confronts Ariel’s liberal Zionist convictions. Even in his absence, Alaa’s family memories create a dialogue with Ariel as the crisis of the mass disappearance unfolds.

Content note: The Book of Disappearance contains mentions and depictions of violence, including sexual violence.

The book is available through most major online book retailers in print and as an ebook. See the Librarians and Archivists with Palestine website for more information about the book and how to get it: https://librarianswithpalestine.org/campaigns-2/about/
