Street olives

Olive trees of the streets are the fifth part of the Palestinian epic work by Ibrahim Nasser Allah, after Birds of Caution and before the novel Amsar Amina. The novel was published by the Arab House for Science within distinguished Arab novels that include Nasser Allah's complete works. A brief about the novel Olive Trees of the Streets Ibrahim Nasser Allah worked on a sensitive issue: the violation of the body, and he does so with full activation. The ways of dealing with women are one of the artistic justifications for creating a literary text that has its own distinction, solidity, and high narrative, which Nasser Allah is known for as a writer of a special kind. Three female characters move in this novel, but the novel is a condensation of fifty years of the ups and downs experienced by the Palestinian person outside his homeland, from before the Nakba year until the mid-1990s. It is a deep reflection on the idea of exile and persuasion. But the main thing that occupies all the pages of this novel is the idea of rape, in a narrative atmosphere capable of gripping the reader strongly... and an atmosphere of sharpness, resentment, and revolution that sometimes makes one feel unable to catch their breath. A novel of coexistence and dialogue about the most dangerous and delicate stages of this history, a stage in which defeat is internal, and the factors of weakness come from the heart and the brain, and elements of disintegration are apparent before the eyes, yet we do not notice or wake up. An enjoyable novel in the artistic and aesthetic sense of the word, enjoyable because of those characters who give us a sense of sanctifying life and loving it, enjoyable because of those women who are unparalleled, enjoyable because of that unbearable longing for the homeland, enjoyable just because you read about those who lived, loved, and were embraced by their homeland’s soil. An authentic novel, with experience, language, reference, and poetry, and that bold, brave, and successful attempt to blend arts together, to triumph over generalization, marginalization, and disappearance, and the ability to speak in a time when even speech itself has become pursued or forbidden. Quotes from the book Olive Trees of the Streets The camp is any place you can be, as long as you are outside your homeland. Humanity has been given enough time to prove that it has a conscience regarding the Palestinian issue, but unfortunately, it has proven, until today, that it is conscience-less.
