The debut novel by Palestinian writer Omar Khalifah was released by Coffee House Press in December and received warm accolades from the press.
“Through its polyvocal structure, Sand-Catcher refutes the demand for one Palestinian story to be told (and sold), instead offering many stories, about many kinds of people, with many different relationships to Palestine.”Bekah Waalkes – The Atlantic
“Sand-Catcher exemplifies why translated literature is important. An exuberant and thought-provoking tale.” Cory Oldweiler – The Boston Globe
