Produktbeschreibung

In the economy class of a plane, the lives of two passengers intersect: Walid, a Palestinian writer, is returning to Gaza for the first time in thirty-eight years; Dana, an Israeli actress, is on her way back to Tel Aviv. As the night sky hurtles past, what each confides and conceals will expose the chasm between them in the land they both call home. Walid soon discovers that Gaza has changed beyond all recognition. Yet through the haze of checkpoints and lives lived across borders, he finds a message from Dana that will change the course of his life. The Lady from Tel Aviv is a powerful and poetic story of love, loss and the desire to belong. 'The Lady from Tel Aviv will take you to the height of reading pleasure’ Elias Khoury 'Al-Madhoun brings Gaza to life vividly through his characters and his ability to acknowledge the absurd within the tragic.’ Selma Dabbagh

Autorenporträt

Rabai al-Madhoun was born in the city of al-Majdal-Askalan (Ashkelon) in Palestine in 1945. His family fled in 19478 and settled in Khan Younis, Gaza. He studied at Alexandria University in Egypt and went on to work in Palestinian politics, moving between Amman, Damascus, Baghdad, Beirut and Moscow. Jailed and tortured in Syria in 1976, he moved to Beirut to work in journalism. He eventually moved to London, where he has lived for over twenty years, and worked for some of the most prominent Arab-language newspapers. He is currently an editor at the leading Arabic daily, Al-Sharq Al-Awsat. His other works include a collection of short stories, an autobiographical novel and an academic study.
