Adania Shibli’s novel Minor detail is divided into two parts with one sharing the gruesome fate of an Arab girl who was repeatedly raped by Israeli soldiers day in and day out, only to kill and bury her in an unnamed grave in the middle of the desert. Sharing the fate with thousands of other Arabs who were disposed after the 1949 war, which for Israel is the war of independence and for Arab is Nakba, the Palestinian exodus. Written in a third-person perspective, as if time itself is taking note of the emotionless, sadist commanders and their men.
