About this deal

My favourites were the first five stories, in particular 'Alte Sachen' and the title story 'The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land'.

Progressively distraught, I was desperately looking for a place to get the famous cheese pie “bourekas”, the highest contribution of the controversial Turks to mankind’s mega-poly-pluri-culture.

After having recently seen some photos of the outer shell and some impressive inside vertical views I am no more so sure that Havalimani, that being Antalya’s airport name, is a strong contender for an ugliness airport prize but I don’t have too much envy to retract and between us, it was crack full with a pedestrian, lower-middle-class crowd, Guys and Dolls, … I haven’t met any celebrity if you know what I mean. I saw Fridge Girl at the edge of the room, dancing with another girl, swaying to music from somebody’s cell-phone and touching each other’s hips, leaning in and whispering and laughing. The collection of short stories that complete this book are set in the Middle East and take you on a diverse and cultural journey. Would it be possible to create simple characters and stories that weren't just accessible for novice learners but could still be enjoyed for what they were?

Jellyfish in Gaza, my favourite story, is one of the latter and perhaps some of the most beautiful and impactful work I have come across. From a man who sells bottles of air to a young soldier in Lebanon, a child who climbs the cranes of Tel Aviv to a young woman in love with a Bedouin boy. It speaks truth of the best and worst of human nature, and Friedlander tells these stories with a compassionate and powerful pen. I kept waiting for that breath, fearing that maybe the next time the recording looped it would not come.Jaffa Oranges was my favourite story - a story of friendship, of being swept up by propaganda, a story of a homeland and perhaps of regret. Every once in a while, he would say something weird, like did you know in Japan they sold Hercules Beetles in vending machines? He secretly marvels at their foreign ways, until one day he find something that involves him more in their lives than he ever expected. Anything’s possible, Aba replied, and then he took us out for ice-cream and shivered, saying that a ghost from one of the flayed bodies out on display had snuck into his lemon sorbet. Three giant dead cockroaches and a fine overlay of city inhomogeneous dust (mostly sand of South Arabian origin flown in by the irritating Khamsin wind) welcomed me.

I couldn’t stop thinking of her as we made the rounds and wondered if I should turn back and park on her street, waiting to see if she would come out again if we played the recording. I guessed that she only wore the conservative outfit at home, but when she went out, at night, she transformed. The parents believed their child was the reincarnated spirit of some Frenchman who had died on the day their son was born.Alternativ kann der Käufer den Artikel durch Anklicken des gleichnamigen Buttons "In den Warenkorb legen" und von dort aus durch Anklicken des Buttons "Bestellung absenden" erwerben.

They came from religious homes, sometimes Ultra-Orthodox families, the real black-and-white type, but they had strayed from that path.
