#books #reviews "Palestinian Resistance Literature Under Occupation: 1948 – 1968 Assassinated in Lebanon by Israel in 1972, Palestinian intellectual Ghassan Kanafani is mostly renowned for his anti-colonial resistance, political writings and works of literary fiction. Palestinian Resistance Literature Under Occupation: 1948 – 1968 (Verso Books, 2026) brings another aspect of Kanafani’s work to an English-speaking public; a deep historical critique of Palestinian literature in the first two decades since Israel established its colonial presence on Palestinian land. 1/2 https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260801-palestinian-resistance-literature-under-occupation-1948-1968/ #palestine

I’m just barely past the ½-way point of this by @cstross@wandering.shop and it is already fantastic. There is a scene involving a vicar, a bureaucrat, and an intern who happens to be a v̶a̶m̶p̶i̶r̶e̶ sorry, a person with PHANG. It is hilarious due to — in equal parts — social norms, office politics, and marginalized communities. Some may find the story disjointed and slow to start, but it merely needs the time and space to create the foundation of the action. Excellent. ★★★★★ #reviews #BooksTodon #LaundryFiles

Catching up on some book reviews on the ol' Naughty Baptist tonight. I've posted 4 - count em, FOUR - new reviews! Granted 3 are in a series of graphic novels, but still. I wrote up my brief thoughts on The Wicked + The Divine, first 3 volumes. I also put down thoughts about The Battle of Blair Mountain, which was a fantastic read. Anyway, you can find them and others here: https://naughtybaptist.com/reviews/ #Books #Reviews #History #Comics
