Longlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize Alaa is haunted by his grandmother's memories of being displaced from Jaffa and becoming a refugee in her homeland after the Nakba. Ariel, Alaas neighbour and friend, is a liberal Zionist, critical of the military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza yet faithful to the project of Israel. When he wakes up one morning to find that all Palestinians have suddenly vanished, Ariel begins searching for clues to the secret of their collective disappearance. That search, and Ariels reactions to it, intimately reveal the fissures at the heart of the Palestinian question. Between the stories of Alaa and Ariel are the people of Jaffa and Tel Aviv caf patrons, radio commentators, flower-cutters against whose ordinary lives these fissures and questions play out. 'Speculative and haunting, this is an exceptional exercise in memory-making and psycho-geography' The International Booker Prize 2025 Judges
