Israel kidnapped me on Wednesday morning. I’m out now. We will keep at it for not only a ceasefire, but full justice and self-determination for Palestine. Here’s an article I wrote that was published shortly after I had to throw my phone into the water www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We fear what Israel will do to us if they seize our ship. But we are not turning back | Naoise Dolan

Our captured flotilla colleagues have been subjected to violence and degrading conditions in an Israeli prison. This has only made us more determined, says Irish writer Naoise Dolan

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

If the cover beautiful cover isn't enough to convince you to put this on your shelves, What Remains touches lightly on big subjects: migration, colonialism, the urban-rural divide, identity, cultural curation and the meaning of home.
