It appeared in the U.K. to wide attention and acclaim but could not find a mainstream U.S. publisher because of its controversial content. A Little Piece of Ground portrays a 12-year-old Palestinian boy and his two best friends, one Christian and one Muslim, who build a soccer field in an area declared off-limits by Israeli forces.Lyn Miller-Lachmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01939121876262433495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-57968065639665718682009-08-27T20:42:00.739-04:002009-08-27T20:42:00.739-04:00I hope folks DO check out the Writers Against Raci...I hope folks DO check out the Writers Against Racism link b/c TODAY, YOU are the featured activist, Doret...blow your own horn, PLEASE!Zettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073292465074072114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-56921035294095834002009-08-27T02:39:50.628-04:002009-08-27T02:39:50.628-04:00Great stuff, I've loved this Roll Call.

Anyway, I wanted to mention Salman Rushdie's "Haroun and the Sea of Stories", which is a great story, and a powerful allegory on censorship. <br /><br />Shyam Selvadurai's novel "Funny Boy", a coming-of-age tale set in Sri Lanka, is very good too.Niranjanahttp://niranjana.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
