Shabbos Goy is a literary journey through the streets of Jerusalem and the heart of a man torn between stories, memories, and contradictions.
Through the life of Sayyid Nabih bin Kamal bin Salah al-Din, the novel captures the intimate struggles of Palestinians navigating a rapidly changing reality—caught between resistance and survival, identity and invisibility.
