Banipal 70 - Mahmoud Shukair, Writing Jerusalem is a rich issue of diverse authors and literary news to inspire and enthuse you in this continuing time of Covid-19.

The main feature on Palestinian author Mahmoud Shukair is a gift to the great Jerusalemite on his 80th birthday - which took place in March this year - with articles, short stories, reviews of his two collections in English translation, and his trilogy of novels of Jerusalem family life.

Two recent Arabic novels are reviewed and excerpted: At Rest in the Cherry Orchard by Iraqi author Azher Jirjees, and No One Prayed over Their Graves by Syrian author Khaled Khalifa. Also included, a memorable short story "A Bicycle Brings an Old Comrade" by Egyptian author Hassan Abdel Mawgoud.

Lebanese author Alawiya Sobh talks to Katia al-Tawil about her latest novel To Love Life, with three chapters excerpted.

Plus an interview with the editors of the Maktoob project, which translates and publishes Arabic literature in Hebrew.
