Confident that the old man will be all too happy to go on record, the reporters are nonplussed when they are repeatedly, and obscenely, rebuffed. This living witness to history, this secular saint, has no desire to be interviewed, no desire for his memories to be preserved, no desire to serve as an inspiration for the youth of tomorrow. What he wants is to be left alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs threats from the team's editor-in-chief put more and more pressure on the journalists, they must decide just how far they're willing to go to get the old man on the record. After all, what possible weight can one stubborn demand for privacy have when balanced against the imperative to bear witness?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOmar Khalifah's debut novel \u003ci\u003eSand-Catcher\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a polyphonic satire and a tightly plotted tale of suspense. Walking the line between gallows humour, rage, and depthless heartbreak, it is a unique reflection of contemporary Palestinian identity in all its facets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845729505516,"sku":"9781566897334","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24279793482745.jpg?v=1758891202"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/omar-khalifah.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
