[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay so this is fiction, and is not some kind of survey of the conflict, but it is fiction with major political undertones and so good:

What we talk about when we talk about Anne Frank. It’s a collection of stories by Nathan Englander. The story Sister Hills references Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory from this sort of heart wrenching and yet contractual perspective. But all the stories are great. [/quote]

Except The Diary of Anne Frank is most certainly not fiction and not a work I would even deem political!  It’s a true account of a young girl hidden with her family by neighbors until tbe gestapo eventually sent her to a concentration camp to die. To say otherwise is to be a Holocaust denier.[/quote]

PP is not recommending The Diary of Anne Frank (which is indeed non-fiction.)  They are recommending a different book (fiction) that has "Anne Frank" in the title:

What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, by Nathan Englander: https://www.amazon.com/What-Talk-About-When-Frank/dp/0307949605

(The short story that gave the book its title was first published in the New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/12/12/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-anne-frank)[/quote]
