Review of Bitter Almonds in Arabic بالعربية
كتبت ليلاس طه، الروائية الفلسطينية المقيمة في أميركا، روايتها «لوز مر» بالإنكليزية وتختار تقديم حكايتها بعيداً من السياسة وقريباً جداً من الصراعات التي تجول في قلوب شخصياتها وما تمثله من قاسم إنساني مشترك مع جميع البشر. ولعل هذا أسهم في فوز الرواية بـ «جائزة الكتاب الدولية» للتعددية الثقافية التي تُمنح سنويا في الولايات المتحدة

Silence
The day will come, when you will beg
for my forgiveness.
I, the child blamed, the one innocent
of your crimes,
I, the grandfather, farmer of a land stolen,
I, the grandmother, singer of ballads forgotten,
I, the father, carer of a family torn asunder,
I, the grandmother, singer of ballads forgotten,
I, the father, carer of a family torn asunder,
I, the mother, nurturer of a home cowardly
demolished,
I, the colonized, the oppressed, the
evicted,
I, the persecuted, the starved, the
forgotten,
I, the imprisoned, the tortured, the
assassinated,
I, the Palestinian, will stand forever tall, and
We will never forgive your silence.
