Israeli soldiers murder an encampment of Bedouin in the Negev desert, and among their victims they capture a Palestinian teenager and they rape her, kill her, and bury her in the sand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many years later, in the near-present day, a young woman in Ramallah tries to uncover some of the details surrounding this particular rape and murder, and becomes fascinated to the point of obsession, not only because of the nature of the crime, but because it was committed exactly twenty-five years to the day before she was born. Adania Shibli masterfully overlays these two translucent narratives of exactly the same length to evoke a present forever haunted by the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minor Detail <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was published in Arabic in 2017 and translated into English by Elisabeth Jacquette and published by New Directions in 2020.
