The Newer Versions of Annouille Are Making It Easy for Them

The novel is based on the story of Tigoene, a Palestinian woman who tries to buy her brother back from Israel after he has been killed as part of West Bank resistance. A British Pakistani writer was accused of racism when she won a prestigious prize in Dorton for an earlier book and had it taken away by community members. The author says that even Brecht's version makes it too easy for Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
