Delisle highlights the very complex lives of Israelis  Palestinians  and foreign residents.\"Publishers Weekly Starred Review  Guy Delisle expertly lays the groundwork for a cultural road map of contemporary Jerusalem  utilizing the classic stranger in a strange land point of view that made his other books  Pyongyang  Shenzhen  and Burma Chronicles required reading for understanding what daily life is like in cities few are able to travel to. In Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City  Delisle explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. He eloquently examines the impact of the conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints  traffic jams  and holidays.  When observing the Christian  Jewish  and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home  Delisles drawn line is both sensitive and fair  assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisles mastery of the travelogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646908784693,"sku":"ByrdShop_1770460713","price":25.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781770460713.jpg?v=1781681208","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jerusalem-chronicles-from-the-holy-city-9781770460713","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
