The story of the Nakba has never been presented in its entirety, from beginning to end. It is a fragmented story that is difficult to grasp from all angles, as the lives of Palestinians disintegrated gradually rather than all at once. But within the disintegration process that proceeded the Nakba in the late 1940s, there was a fragile and fluid space that spawned stories about love and hate, birth and death.<\/p>\n

In the novel \u201cAs Though She Were Sleeping,\u201d which was first published in 2007 and was recently translated into Hebrew,\u00a0Lebanese author Elias Khoury\u00a0displays his unique literary prowess and gives new meaning to life before the Nakba (when more than 700,000 Arabs fled or were expelled from their homes during the 1947-49 Israeli War of Independence).<\/p>\n
