About the book
The novel "A Bomb for Personal Use" revolves around Elias Khalil al-Maqdisi, a Palestinian man who returns to a place that holds his memory and the memory of the city, only to discover that his identity and the identity of the place have been stolen and distorted. Through an atmosphere of crime and espionage intertwined with the history of the Palestinian cause, the writer draws inspiration from contemporary events and pauses at the Nakba and its aftermath, to raise questions about belonging, memory, and justice. The novel highlights how the occupation of a place can extend to the occupation of identity and cultural symbols, and reveals, through an exciting plot, the hero's struggle between the desire for revenge and the attempt to recover what was stolen from him and his city. A work that blends police suspense with human emotion, and offers a different reading of the individual’s relationship with his country’s history and the personal “bombs” that this history leaves lurking in memory and spirit.
