A Mask the Colour of the Sky
一名出身拉馬拉難民營的巴勒斯坦青年,因外貌酷似猶太人,冒用一張偶然取得的以色列身分證,進入了高牆外的世界。他在考古現場工作、說著流利希伯來語,也逐漸理解「敵人」。然而,他越融入這個借來的人生,內心的撕裂也越形加深……
內容簡介
★ 2024 阿拉伯小說國際獎(International Prize for Arabic Fiction)
一部大膽且心理層次豐富的小說,探討身分認同、流亡與抵抗。出自巴勒斯坦最具生命力的文學聲音之一——全書皆在鐵窗後創作而成。
努爾(Nur)是一名來自拉馬拉(Ramallah)附近難民營的巴勒斯坦難民,由於外表,他常被誤認為是阿什肯納茲猶太人(Ashkenazi Jew)。他能說流利的希伯來語,並擁有考古學學位,心中一直夢想著高牆之外的自由,也渴望能根據《諾斯底福音》(Gnostic Gospels)寫一部關於抹大拉的馬利亞的小說。當他在一件二手大衣的口袋裡發現一張以色列身分證時,他冒用了這個虛構的身分,並在米吉多(Megiddo)附近的一處考古挖掘現場找到了一份工作。他偽裝成以色列人,在過去被列為巴勒斯坦禁區的世界中穿梭,進而得以深入了解那些在過去被教育要視為敵人的人們的生活。
隨著努爾對這個借來身分越融入,內心的撕裂感也越形尖銳而無法迴避。透過對這種內心衝突的探索,巴塞姆·坎達吉(Bassem Khandaqji)這部榮獲「阿拉伯布克獎」的小說,細膩描寫長期占領與壓迫如何逐漸改變一個人的內心,以及對於歸屬感的迷茫、對於能完全誠實且毫無恐懼地安身立命的生活那份始終難以實現的渴望。
★ Winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction 2024
A bold, psychologically rich novel of identity, exile, and resistance from one of Palestine’s most vital literary voices―written entirely from behind bars.
Nur, a Palestinian refugee from a camp near Ramallah, is often mistaken for an Ashkenazi Jew. Fluent in Hebrew and with a degree in archaeology, he dreams of freedom beyond the fence, and of writing a novel about Mary Magdalene based on the Gnostic Gospels. When he discovers an Israeli ID card in the pocket of a secondhand coat, he assumes a false identity and is hired for an archaeological dig near Megiddo. Passing as an Israeli, he moves through a world previously off-limits and gains insight into the lives of those he’s been taught to perceive as enemies.
As Nur’s borrowed identity deepens, so does the rift within. Through an exploration of this internal conflict, Bassem Khandaqji’s Arabic Booker-winning novel offers a meditation on the personal toll of occupation and the elusive desire to belong―fully, honestly, and without fear.
作者介紹
1983 年出生於納布盧斯(Nablus),是巴勒斯坦的小說家、詩人兼記者。2004 年,二十一歲的他因政治活動遭到逮捕。在獄中他並未停下筆桿,持續在鐵窗後創作,其作品在阿拉伯世界贏得了廣泛的認可。他的小說以抒情的文筆、細緻的研究以及對巴勒斯坦歷史與集體記憶的深刻投入而聞名。如今,坎達吉被視為他那一代中最具特色的文學聲音之一。國際人權觀察組織長期以來對他的逮捕、審判和監禁提出批評。2025 年,就在《A Mask the Colour of the Sky》榮獲享有盛譽的阿拉伯小說國際獎一年後,他從監獄中獲釋。
Bassem Khandaqji, born in 1983 in Nablus, is a Palestinian novelist, poet, and journalist. Arrested in 2004 at the age of twenty-one for his political activities, he continued to write from prison, producing a body of work that has earned wide recognition across the Arab world. His novels are known for their lyrical prose, meticulous research, and deep engagement with Palestinian history and memory. Today, Khandaqji is regarded as one of the most distinctive literary voices of his generation. International human rights observers have long criticized his arrest, trial, and imprisonment. He was released from prison in 2025, one year after A Mask the Colour of the Sky won the prestigious International Prize for Arabic Fiction.

各界推薦
“An invaluable source of reflections on the folds and fractures in the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis.”—La Stampa
“It's a novel written in prison, about a world whose events take place almost entirely outside of prison, but in a larger prison, a prison that's cramped with questions, violence, distortion, the obliteration of facts, and an attempt to bury an entire history and people. It's a novel worth reading for its intense experimentation and aesthetics, and for the kind of questions it raises about identity and identities.”—Al Jazeera
