GuiltyFeat | A Day in the Life of Abed Salama - Review @GuiltyFeat | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
It was not quite the book I was expecting, but that is never a legitimate criticism. First published on October 3rd last year, this book about a very human tragedy in the Occupied Territories was launched into a tough market. This year it won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.
I think the book includes 100 pages of padding which is a lot when the whole thing is only 200 pages long. It's a classic example of a publisher wanting an author to expand a long-form magazine article so that it has a chance of generating revenue through readership. Nevertheless there is much to admire here and it's a sad story that is worth telling.
I'd love to hear what you make of it.
