crossing into part II:
- i, introspection, i, pondering… shes set as a real person - couldn’t miss this juxtaposition if it slapped u in the face
- borderline mythical touch with the parallels, the howling dog, the exact matching birth and death dates
- the normalcy of terror under occupation: having a gun cocked in ur face isn’t a deterrent to make ur way to work
- she’s autistic. novel = hyperfixation

Israeli propaganda is so absolutely sickening… life under occupation really invades every part of a person’s life and past.
Most deeply angering part of this book was when the Australian emigrated guide assumes the death and rape of the bedouin girl was done by the arabs:

- the actual literary values of p1 v p2 text is very different, will write more about this later.
- find it kind of morbidly funny that the crux of this entire novel is an autistic women finding a hyperfixation in her daily tragedies. ‘border’ speech…
… she’s not a vehicle for tragedy but possesses her own anxiously stuttering developed complexity
- interesting philosophical points, posed

finished P1, much to think about. very briefly:
- the inescapable omniscience of the desert, reminiscent of the grand poetry of the british romantics but in the haggard heated sun
- he lifted the jerry can, he inspected the room, he, he and he. pointedly impersonal, few if any descriptive words, his days are communicated mainly in unending lists
- the girl, and the one ‘stranger’ quote… men cannot be saved
