About the author










Sayed Kashua was born in 1975 in a village called Tira, in the Galilee, and went on to study at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He writes a weekly column for Ha’aretz, Israel’s most prestigious newspaper. Kashua briefly moved back to his childhood village after growing disillusioned with life in Jerusalem, and it was at that time that the idea for this novel took shape. But after growing disenchanted with life there, he moved with his wife and two small children to Beit Safafa, another Arab village within Israel.


Summary


Soon to be a major motion picture from award–winning director Eran Kolirin


In his searing new novel, the young Arab-Israeli writer Sayed Kashua introduces a disillusioned journalist who returns to his hometown, an Arab village within Israel, hoping to reclaim the simplicity of life among kin. But the prodigal son returns to a place where the people are petty and provincial and everything is smaller than he remembers. When Israeli tanks surround the village without explanation, the community devolves into a Darwinian jungle, and the journalist and his family must negotiate the fault lines of a world on the brink of implosion. With the enduring moral and literary power of Albert Camus and George Orwell, Let It Be Morning proves Sayed Kashua to be a fearless, prophetic observer of a political and human quagmire that offers no easy answers.
