RAMALLAH, West Bank — 2018 has been a big year for Palestinian literature, with Palestinian-Jordanian author Ibrahim Nasrallah’s winning of the Arab world's top literary prize, the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, for his dystopian novel “The Second War of the Dog.”
In September, Palestinian literature celebrated another victory as the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) selected the novel “Ana wa-sadiqi wa-al-himar” (“Me, My Friend and The Donkey”) by Palestinian author Mahmoud Shukair for its 2018 honor list of the top 100 children’s novels around the world. The selection was announced after the IBBY’s 36th international congress held in Athens, Greece, in the beginning of September.
