Synopsis: |
"A Paradise Divided: An Irishman in the Holy Land" is a product of David Lynch's time in the Holy Land, and comprises interviews, discussions and articles. While focusing on the contemporary life of ordinary Palestinians and Israelis, the book also delves into the contested history of the region, providing accessible background to the conflict. It is an exciting, readable description of ordinary life in one of the most contested, newsworthy and interesting regions on the globe.Including chapters focusing on internal Israeli existence, David Lynch brings to life stories from both sides of the divide. David Lynch's book includes historical and political background, but it is ordinary Israelis and Palestinians who take centre stage. Palestinian feminists, Jewish settlers, young people, dispirited Israelis, angry Palestinians, struggling West Bank restaurant owners, Tel Aviv taxi drivers and Palestinian Christian Marxists are just some of those included in the cast of interesting, intriguing individuals who populate the pages of this fascinating book. |
