Book
A Mask the Color of the Sky.
Written entirely behind bars by a Palestinian serving three life sentences in an Israeli prison, 'A Mask the Color of the Sky' follows Nur, a young Palestinian refugee from a camp near Ramallah, who dreams of freedom beyond the fences of the camp. When he discovers an Israeli ID card in the pocket of a coat, he assumes a false identity. Passing as an Israeli, he moves through a world previously off-limits, gaining insight into the lives and beliefs of those hes been taught to see as enemies. But as Nurs borrowed identity deepens, so does the rift within: between Nur, the Palestinian, and Ur, the Israeli. 'A Mask the Color of the Sky' is the winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction.
