Dalya Cohen-Mor explores the poet's romantic relationship with \"Rita,\" an Israeli Jewish woman whom he had met in Haifa in his early twenties and to whom he had dedicated a series of love poems and prose passages, among them the iconic poem \"Rita and the Gun.\" Interwoven with biographical details and diverse documentary materials, this exploration reveals a fascinating facet in the poet's personality, his self-definition, and his attitude toward the Israeli other. Comprising a close reading of Darwish's love poems, coupled with many examples of novels and short stories from both Arabic and Hebrew fiction that deal with Arab-Jewish love stories, this book delves into the complexity of Arab-Jewish relations and shows how romance can blossom across ethno-religious lines and how politics all too often destroys it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalya Cohen-Mor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030241610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030241612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.31d","brand":"Dalya Cohen-Mor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073520201983,"sku":"9783030241612","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_740be9ea-4bcb-4a31-8605-d7b2962227a8.jpg?v=1685448305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mahmoud-darwish-dalya-cohen-mor-9783030241612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
