My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness "Luminous ... Hoffman presents readers with a subtle, moving evocation of the human realities of the Palestinian experience, rooted in land and memory." "[A] superb biography ... Hoffman writes with a narrative brio ... A remarkable achievement."
–Pankaj Mishra, The New York Review of Books
"Beautifully written ... [This] is not only the biography of a remarkable man; it is an act of reclamation against the erosions of memory."
–Eric Ormsby, The Times Literary Supplement
"I would place My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness among the five 'must read' books on the Israel-Palestine tragedy." "A remarkable book ... A triumph of personal empathy and historical insight, and a beacon for anyone who knows that 'more joins than separates us.'"
–Boyd Tonkin, The Independent

House of Windows "The writing is as poignant and layered as the subjects she writes about–and by detailing the ways history and culture play out in the day-to-day lives of the residents of one of the world's most contentious cities, she adds nuance and complexity to a much-studied subject." "This remarkable work of non-fiction, wonderfully written, takes us deep inside the lives ... of the people who are virtually invisible outside of Israel." |
